Thanks for reporting this bug. It should not have happened that your
patch got unaddressed for so long.
I checked /etc/sudoers in Ubuntu 22.04 and it is correct there: the last
line is "@includedir /etc/sudoers.d". So I mark this bug as fixed.

Title:
Default /etc/sudoers file overwrites /etc/sudoers.d for 'admin' users

Bug description:
Binary package hint: sudo
I was trying to make truecrypt to mount encrypted container without
asking my user's password after I provided my truecrypt password and
found out that I need to modify my 'sudo' configuration. After reading
bit more about sudo configuration I found out that custom
configuration should be placed in '/etc/sudoers.d' instead of
modifying the default '/etc/sudoers' file. I found out that my custom
setting did not worked any user who is member of the group 'admin',
but worked find for any other user. I found that last line '%admin
ALL=(ALL) ALL' in default '/etc/sudoers' file overwrites any setting
set in '/etc/sudoers.d'. I fixed it by moving the '#includedir
/etc/sudoers.d' to be the last line. I am attaching my patch. I think
that this should be fixed in default configuration file because I
believe this file will get overwritten during the next 'sudo' upgrade.
