Technically, he's right. See my post above for exactly how they set up sudo.

I think you mean the Debian route (about root - perhaps).
I'm pretty sure Debian doesn't disable root login by default (you can login as root by typing su). Ubuntu does so you can't login as root.

Using Ubuntu style sudo in Debian you may run into odd failures because those same changes haven't been made. This is especially true of applications which are essentially scripts, and also 3rd party applications, especially proprietary ones which you may not be able to modify. My bet is that eventually using sudo Ubuntu style will just prove too annoying.
