Per discussion in #ubuntu-hardened, the Ubuntu Security guys are opposed to the change I proposed above.
Thus, this bug is closed, and should be handled in documentation.
I have added a section to the sudoer's documentation: * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Enabling%20Visual%20Feedback%20when%20Typing%20Passwords
Those who want to enable visual feedback, can do so in the configuration file. Sorry.
