I'm not necessarily sure that the default sudo configuration should be
anything but totally locked down.  Maybe the most reasonable default is
something like:
        %wheel  ALL=(ALL)       ALL
which would require a password to attain all root privileges, but only
if you're in group wheel.  Couple this with a place (near the end of the
installer?  It's been a long time since I last used the installer...)
where an "administrative alias" can be specified, which would simply
place the selected user(s) into the wheel group, and I think you've got
a winner.
