Setting the root account password is not mandatory in standard installation, 
skipping it already adds the first user account to sudo.
Lowering the priority skips 2 questions in the standard installation.
The questions will still be available on the expert install and preseed.

Agreed. If anyone wants to pursue this goal, I'd suggest opening a fresh
wishlist bug report on that topic.
