Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p9-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently, "sudo -v" will check the timestamp, and prompt
for the password if necessary.

I would like a command "sudo -v command" that will prompt
for the password only if "sudo command" would prompt for the
password.  I.e., if the user has NOPASSWD access to that
command, just exit with a 0 return code without prompting.

This is needed by programs such as `wajig'.
