Agreed. Here's a proposed patch. Maybe a little bit overdesigned as I tentatively check the version of the sudo package that's installed on the system before adding the created user to the sudo group, falling back to old behaviour if sudo has a lower version. This is untested. I'm not 100% sure that "my" test is correct, so comments welcomed.
