[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#939374: pinentry-tty doesn't support control-U

[Conrad J.C. Hughes (for Debian package stuff)]

Package: pinentry-tty
Version: 1.1.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Use of control-U to kill (entirely delete) the current line of text has been
fairly standard
during password entry on Linux for decades; it's very disorienting that
pinentry-tty doesn't
support it.

Looks as if a user has submitted a (tiny!) patch upstream to enable this, but
not clear what
upstream think of it:

Best regards,
Conrad
