[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#528133: support escaped newlines in askpass

[Kees Cook]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1
Severity: normal

Hello!

When prompting for passphrases the on-screen display can get very long (due
to dev mapper device names, etc) resulting in a kind of ugly line-wrapped
prompt.  This is especially noticeable with usplash, since it echos stars
while typing the passphrase.

This patch provides a way to include escaped newlines in the prompt, which
askpass handles with its various backends, and adjusts cryptroot-script to
use it.

Thanks!

-Kees
