Bug#344873: should be a way to get a sudo-only root system

I agree. I think this is a very useful feature in Ubuntu.

Instead of a preseedable question, we could setup a sudo account when
the root password is set to NULL.

I suggest we implement as much as possible from Ubuntu patches to
shadow config scripts.....
