Dear Debian expect maintainer

Kindly forward this to upstream, I don't know where to report this
(see also #1036463).

The usage of \c is in mkpasswd(1) is incorrect. It fails when trying
to use po4a to provide translations of the man pages. Im currently
"patching around this" in manpages-l10n.

For a full explanation of the problem (the man page is different, but
the problem is the same) see Debian #1036826 and the explanations by
Bjarni, especially in message #25.

It would be great if you could fix this so that manpages-l10n can
remove our workaround, which slows down our build.
