By putting the first user into /etc/sudoers? That's completely and utterly 
broken. Just because Ubuntu does something doesn't mean it makes sense. ;-) 
sudo either needs to be fixed to prompt for the root password instead of 
denying access altogether if the user is not in sudoers or replaced by 
something which does (and can still be invoked with "sudo" because that's the 
command people know).
