This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.2-2ubuntu23
---------------
plymouth (0.8.2-2ubuntu23) natty-proposed; urgency=low
* details/plugin.c: On every key stroke, the "details" plugin in plymouth
clears only the current line before overwriting it with the password
prompt. If the prompt is multilined then the last line ends up being
overwritten but the previous lines are repeated. Re-printing only the
last line of the password prompt on every keystroke. (LP: #566818)
* details/plugin.c: Removed the explicit printing of ':'. Expected to be a
part of the prompt.
