Reassigning to the right D-I component.

However, in user-setup-apply:

                if [ -e $ROOT/etc/sudoers ]; then
                        # Test if we can add the user to the sudo group
                        # (possible if sudo >= 1.7.2-2 is installed on the target system)
                        # If we can, do it this way, otherwise add the user to sudoers
                        # See #597239
                        if ! $log $chroot $ROOT adduser "$USER" sudo >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                                echo "$USER ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> $ROOT/etc/sudoers
                        fi
                else
                        # sudo failed to install, system won't be usable
                        exit 1
                fi


In short, according to this code, this is already implemented, as of
user-setup 1.34, assuming the sudo group exists at the time this is
done. Adding the sudo user to sudoers is only a fallback.
