Added "trusty" tag based on your comment, as well as "manpage" since the issue concerns a manpage. Feel free to add your own tags from the list of official tags [1] when they are applicable.

Most tags will autocomplete when you edit them. :) ** Tags added: manpage trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sudo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424622 Title: Something missing in the sudoers(5) manual page Status in sudo package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: $ 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.
