Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo
lucid sudoers(5) says
mail_badpass If set, sudo will set the HOME environment variable to
the home directory of the target user (which is
root unless the -u option is used). This effectively
means that the -H option is always implied. This
flag is off by default.
however this description is fairly obviously about always_set_home not
mail_badpass. (See sudo(2)).
