zillion follow-ups)

Title:
  [FFe] sudo do not remember password when std(in|out|err) are not
  connected to a terminal

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  sudo will not remember the password (and thus prompt for it) when none
  of stdin, stdout and stderr are connected to a terminal.  In certain
  use-cases, this could be problematic.  For example, in a build script
  where std(in|out|err) are all connected to pipes.  See discussion at
  http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=18393 for such a
  use-case.

  There is a commit upstream that resolve this problem:

      http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/b9dfce12af85

  
  Would it be possible to consider the above commit for inclusion in precise?
