Hi, what do you mean by upstream in this case? Debian? Or the sudo developers? I think the problem with sudo is the same as in Debian Sid, there referred to as #454409 [1]. The problem has a simple and a less trivial solution:
1) The easy one first: Change debian/rules to not set default-prompt to "[sudo] password for %u", because %u is always replaced by the invoking user. Soo simply removing "for %u" helps. See Debian BTS for the patch. According to the Debian maintainer of sudo this will be done in the next upload. Unfortunately there is no alternative to %u that respects def_rootpw (or def_targetpw (?) in this case), so the alternative is to 2) .. patch sudo to have a placeholder that is proper for this case. I created a patch for Debian (where the problem was with the def_rootpw option, but now I see that this patch is incomplete, because I've forgotten that def_targetpw exists. So my patch needs to be updated.
