Comment 5 for bug 1120280

This is an obvious hack and not a true patch. Instead su should behave as expected and be exactly like the Debian version.

In my opinion, we should not divert from Debian on commands and scripts unless it is necessary. This can generally be applied to inherent differences in directory structure, interface changes, and security issues. Why reinvent the wheel?

I simply commented out the offending line and added the comment, "Works in Debian, but not Ubuntu."
Then I duplicated the line, replacing mixmaster with root.

I am not a programmer. I have not tested this.
