This report has been partially addressed: the sudo package is configured
by default to use the /var/run/sudo directory to hold timestamps.

The man pages sudo(8) and sudoers(5) reflect this configuration.

The problem is that the directory is never created by the package, and
so the whole timestamp functionality is missing unless the user creates
the directory manually.

$ grep var /var/lib/dpkg/info/sudo.*
$

If the omission was intentional, perhaps the man pages should at least
suggest to the users that some action on their part is expected in order
for timestamps to work.
