Description of the change

Admin group was deprecated in Ubuntu 12.04 (more than 2 years ago),
bug #1130643 registered more than a year ago, but sudo_root still
mention admin group instead sudo.

This fix is far from ideal, but it uses actual group name at least.
Probably someone should say someting about admin group that may appear
on systems that were upgraded from pre 12.04 release, but English is
not so good to do man page rewrite.
