This bug was fixed in the package sudo - 1.8.12-1ubuntu2
---------------
sudo (1.8.12-1ubuntu2) wily; urgency=medium
* Use tmpfs location to store timestamp files (LP: #1458031)
- debian/rules: change --with-rundir to /var/run/sudo
- debian/rules, debian/sudo.service, debian/sudo.sudo.init: stop
shipping init script and service file, as they are no longer
necessary.
- debian/*.preinst, debian/*.postinst, debian/*.postrm: remove old init
script with dpkg-maintscript-helper.
- debian/*.postinst: remove old /var/run/sudo to /var/lib/sudo
transition code, remove old /var/lib/sudo/ts timestamp directory.

sudo not properly cleaning out timestamp directory

Bug description:
Sudo 1.8.10 switched to a new time stamp file format that uses the
monotonic clock. Timestamp files moved from /var/lib/sudo to
/var/lib/sudo/ts.
At boot, the contents of the /var/lib/sudo/ts directory needs to be
deleted, as per the warning in the build log:
configure: Warning: the /var/lib/sudo/ts directory must be cleared at boot
time.
configure: You may need to create a startup item to do this.
The sudo package ships with both an init script and a systemd unit
file. Unfortunately, the init script sets the date on the timestamp
files to epoch, which is no longer the proper way to invalidate them.
The systemd unit file doesn't seem to work at all.
