Subscribing Marc as he seems to be largely maintaining this and made the
original changes and has been keeping the delta. Hopefully he can
provide some insight.
Seems this is a delta to Debian that is being kept intentionally for a
long time, it's frequently in the changelog even in the most recent
Debian merge.
I'd have thought if we kept this in here by default we probably should
have kept a default 'admin' group with no members but it's a bit late
for that at this point.
- debian/sudoers:
+ also grant admin group sudo access
Also seems this change was originally made in 2014:
sudo (1.8.9p5-1ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=medium
* debian/patches/also_check_sudo_group.diff: also check the sudo group
in plugins/sudoers/sudoers.c to create the admin flag file. Leave the
admin group check for backwards compatibility. (LP: #1387347)

sudo (1.8.9p5-1ubuntu2) utopic; urgency=medium
* debian/sudo_root.8: mention sudo group instead of deprecated group
admin (LP: #1130643)

Title:
sudo config file specifies group "admin" that doesn't exist in system
Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the configuration file for sudo ( /etc/sudoers ) you find this section:
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
The sudo group is in /etc/group, but not admin group. This is a
cosmetic bug, but if we specify a group that are allowed to use sudo
command, then the group should exist in the system too.
Installed version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS all upgrades up to 9 july 2014
installed, 64 bit desktop ISO used for installation.
Sudo package installed:
ii sudo 1.8.9p5-1ubuntu1 amd64 Provide
limited super user privileges to specific users
