I cannot find iPod_Control or iTunesControl in libimobiledevice or gvfs,
so I'm not sure what component actually creates those. But it's
certainly not util-linux, so removing package name for now.
** Package changed: util-linux (Ubuntu) => ubuntu

Bug description:
On Xubuntu 16.04, I connected an iPod Nano 5th Generation (8 GB) to my
computer. After working on the files on the iPod from within the
terminal for a while, I found that the almost 21 MB file
/media/username/DEVICENAME/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl contained
sensitive information about my Ubuntu system, such as my username,
commands that I had run recently, commands that I had run a long time
ago, the full paths of some of those commands, environment variables,
my UID, and text that appeared in my terminal window (such as the
prompt, which included a path that I was on; it even included ANSI
escape sequences for the prompt).
I've attached the output of `strings iTunesControl`, with my username,
hostname, and the iPod device name changed.
