Really I'm already not sure if this is a bug as sudo is alias to sudo -E, and $ /usr/bin/sudo -E ls works.

But at leas I'm not able to run user shell with user's home.
sudo -su user doesn't work and sudo -Esu user saves my $HOME (and all my other env).

This is a bug!

/usr/bin/sudo -s --preserve-env=SSH_AUTH_SOCK preserves $SSH_AUTH_SOCK but still requires password.
