I agree to this, FWIW. But the change was already done in user-setup,
see https://launchpad.net/bugs/893842 (comments 4 and down), so this
was mainly fixing things up to actually work again. The main reason
AFAIK is to be compatible with Debian, but of course because we need
to be backwards-compatible, our new delta is now actually bigger than
previously: instead of s/sudo/admin/ we now need to have bigger
patches which check for either.
