Bug#448630: gksu: sudo mode doesn't work with a non-C locale

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-4
Severity: important

Since recently (I guess the 1.6.9p6-1 upload a week ago), sudo 
translates the password prompt.

The obvious result is that gksu doesn't work anymore in this case.
Furthermore, the -p option of sudo doesn't work in non-default locales
(bug #448628), which makes it impossible to fix for the moment.
