Hello,

I've updated the acccheck.pl behavior to correct (i hope) the 
CVE-2018-12268. User and password input files are sanitized before any 
use in the generated commandline string. The patch is given attached to 
this mail.

Nevertheless, the package doesn't have separated branches for stretch 
and unstable releases, which leads to d/changelog files being denoted as 
targetting for 'unstable' even in the stetch package. In the given 
patch, the only missing point is the "stretch-security" naming of the 
target, as it whould be better to separate into two branches first.

Cheers,
