The method suggested by Rolf Schmidt to overcome your problem 
demonstrates that it's something as unsafe as can be imagined. Anybody 
can get root privileges without a password.

Letting any user do anything just by typing sudo before a command is a 
rather peculiar way of implementing security, be it the old Wheezy, or 
the newer Ubuntu (and its siblings).

Just my 2 c.
