As a developer, I agree with Kees and feel that having different sudo defaults for different Ubuntu installations is odd and confusing for people new to Ubuntu. New Ubuntu desktop users should not be directed to open a terminal and type sudo commands at all, and should be directed to use the existing graphical tools to administer their system and where they are not enough, use gksudo. However, people used to Ubuntu desktop and using sudo on it who try out Ubuntu server are almost guaranteed to be confused. As such, IMO this should be fixed in documentation surrounding the use of sudo on the desktop (ie, use the gui tools or gksudo), and not in the sudo configuration.
