Title:
  HOME environmental variable no long preserved with sudo by default

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in sudo source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  As discussed on ubuntu-devel in February
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  devel/2011-February/032490.html:

  sudo sh -c 'echo $HOME'

  no longer returns the current users home directory rather it returns
  /root.  This is a change in behavior from Maverick which kept $HOME.

  The following debian bug contains information about why this is
  happening now - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596847.  " The HOME and MAIL environment
  variables are now reset based on the target user's password database
  entry when the env_reset sudoers option  is enabled (which is the case
  in the default configuration)."

  Something should be done to ensure there isn't a regression and that
  $HOME is preserved by default.
