It's my understanding that in 12.04, you should no longer need to be a member of the admin or adm group, just sudo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Other . You should definitely expect a 'sudo' group.
In general, when a bug status is 'fix released' I believe that means it's supposed to be fixed in a package currently available in some release. (I think it'd be more useful if they indicated specifically which package version it was supposed to be fixed in, but in any event, for this bug, as I noted, I believe it's actually fixed in 1:3.4.0-0ubuntu7 .) This was pushed out at least a few days ago.
