>From sudo 1.7.0 WHATSNEW file:
* Support for /etc/environment on AIX and Linux. If sudo is run
with the -i flag, the contents of /etc/environment are used to
populate the new environment that is passed to the command being
run.
there's a bug in that the contents are taken literally instead of
stripping quotes though, bug #387262.
I see some comments requested usage of pam_env in sudo; while that's not
entirely unreasonnable, I think it would make it harder to understand
why some sudo environment-handlign options don't work as expected.
** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released

sudo does not use /etc/environment on interactive logins (through pam_env)
