What version of sudo are you running?  It looks like Ubuntu 22.04
ships sudo 1.9.9.  There have been a number of fixes to log_subcmds
and intercept mode since then.  If you are able to do so, I suggest
trying the latest sudo package from https://www.sudo.ws/getting/packages/.

If not, you could disable log_subcmds for apt with a line like.

    Defaults!/usr/bin/apt !log_subcmds

It is probably not useful to log all the commands run by the apt
install and remove scripts.  Some of the package scripts run thousands
of commands (google-cloud-sdk is especially bad in this respect).
