[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#670132: Useless " ...terminated." messaged at the end of su invocation

[Yuri D'Elia]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.5-1
Severity: normal
File: /bin/su

$ su -c id
Password: 
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
 ...terminated.
$ su -
Password: 
# ^D
 ...terminated.
$

This " ...terminated." message must be the most useless change to some core
unix utility I've seen so far. When I've seen it the first time I was honestly
thinking something broke or crashed due to a signal.

Bring back the "success = no output" philosophy please.
