Indeed. It is even documented on the ubuntu wiki in the same place it
has been for the last few years.

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo - A url I have embedded in my brain that
gets rattled off whenever anyone moans about not having root. It details
quite clearly how to change that standard behaviour. This is not an
issue in my book.

Cheers,
