Public bug reported:
$ man sudoers
...
passprompt The default prompt to use when asking for a password;
can be overridden via the -p option or the SUDO_PROMPT
...
The default value is “[sudo] password for %p:”. The
default SELinux role to use when constructing a new
security context to run the command. The default role
may be overridden on a per-command basis in sudoers or
via command line options. This option is only avail‐
able when sudo is built with SELinux support.
It seems to me that the documentation for 'passprompt' should end with "The
default value is ...". Subsequent text seems to be talking about some other
option, but the name of that option is missing.
