AAAAAAARGH!
I did a Wheezy install on Sunday and, yes, leaving the root password fields empty in the installer results in the first user account being in the sudo group. I presume that entering a password in those fields results in root having its own password and the first user account not being a member of the sudo group. Don't take my word for it, do an installation in a Virtual Box instance to examine the results. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
