>Description:
Current sudo package asks with "Password:", it is not so useful.
Some Linux distributions are add configure flag like the following:

 --with-passprompt="[sudo] password for %p: " 

It would be helpful. Could you add it to CONFIGURE_ARGS?

Over to maintainer.

State-Changed-When: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:24:06 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
You can use "sudo -p prompt" to use "prompt as the prompt.
Alternatively you can set the prompt in the SUDO_PROMPT
environment variable or in a configuration file (sudoers
or sudoers.d/*).

I prefer not to accumulate changes that deviate from
the defaults as distributed.

Thanks,
+ Kimmo
