sudo init script should set date to epoch, not 1985-01-01

[Marc Deslauriers]

Sudo treats filestamps set to epoch as invalid, so the init script should set the contents of /var/lib/sudo to epoch, and not 19850101.

ie:

find /var/lib/sudo -exec touch -d @0 '{}' \;

instead of:

find /var/lib/sudo -exec touch -t 198501010000 '{}' \;

This is fixed in Trusty:

sudo (1.8.8-2ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/rules:
      + compile with --without-lecture --with-tty-tickets --enable-admin-flag
      + install man/man8/sudo_root.8 in both flavours
      + install apport hooks
    - debian/sudoers:
      + also grant admin group sudo access
    - debian/source_sudo.py, debian/sudo-ldap.dirs, debian/sudo.dirs:
      + add usr/share/apport/package-hooks
    - debian/sudo.pam:
      + Use pam_env to read /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale
        environment files. Reading ~/.pam_environment is not permitted due to
        security reasons.
    - Remaining patches:
      + keep_home_by_default.patch: Keep HOME in the default environment
      + actually-use-buildflags: Pass LDFLAGS everywhere
