Sudo password prompt not localizable

sudo features a translation template, which comprises the whole package, except for the password prompt, which seems to be hard-coded in the build script. A snippet from mkpkg:

configure_opts="--prefix=/usr
  --with-all-insults
  --with-pam
  --enable-zlib=system
  --with-fqdn
  --with-logging=syslog
  --with-logfac=authpriv
  --with-env-editor
  --with-editor=/usr/bin/editor
  --with-timeout=15
  --with-password-timeout=0
*** --with-passprompt=[sudo] password for %p: ***
  --with-timedir=/var/lib/sudo
  --disable-root-mailer
  --disable-setresuid
  --with-sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail
  --mandir=/usr/share/man
  --libexecdir=/usr/lib/sudo
  --with-secure-path=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
  $configure_opts"
 ;;

The password prompt being hard-coded means it is not included with the translation templates, therefore users will always see a non-localized password prompt.
