I've unfortunately hit a wall investigating this :(
sudo should only override the prompt if passprompt_override is set in
sudoers, or the env variable SUDO_PROMPT is set, and neither is set in
bionic. Furthermore, it's not an issue with the binary, as I've tried
taking the bionic sudo and putting it in a cosmic machine, and it works
perfectly, honoring -p '' like the cosmic version does. That leaves the
environment somehow, but I've run out of leads.
It does work properly in xenial and in cosmic, and the prompt seems to
just be cosmetic anyway, so I'm marking this wontfix.
** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
