Package: emacs22
Version: 22.1+1-2.1
Severity: normal
As a result of http://bugs.debian.org/343268, sudo now uses a
grandiloquent prompt:
[sudo] password for twb:
This is not matched by M-x shell's password regexp, so the user is
suddenly faced with their passwords being echoed to the screen.
Either #343268 should be reverted, or shell.el's regexp should be
extended to work around this madness.
See function comint-watch-for-password-prompt and variable
comint-password-prompt-regexp.
PS: users can use M-x send invisible RET to supply a one-off hidden
password to non-matching regexps; this is what Emacs 21 users had to
do all the time.
PPS: this issue has affected Ubuntu Gutsy for some time. Because
Ubuntu makes it difficult for tty users to report bugs, I do not
report bugs to them, instead waiting until they can be reproduced on
Debian.

Which has now been uploaded to Debian, so I'm closing the bug.
