Public bug reported:
This is just to inform you, that the file /etc/sudoers, that comes with
sudo 1.8.21p2-3ubuntu1 during a fresh install of Xubuntu 18.04, contains
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
but the admin group is now named "adm" instead of "admin".
This is easy to correct, but it might confuse people, that are not familiar
with the sudoers file. So, I suggest to change this line to
%adm ...
