Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
When typing a passphrase into the prompt presented by plymouth ask-for-password, if the starred-out letters exceed the width of the text box, they will continue to be drawn off the edge of the box. Plymouth should do as, e.g., gdm and gnome-screensaver do, and only display the rightmost n characters.

plymouth (0.8.0~-8) lucid; urgency=low
[ Steve Langasek ] splash/ script/ plugin. c: the script plugin has no support at plymouth. postinst: also set the theme on first install, or on plymouth. plymouth- splash. upstart: don't wait on tty-device-added, initramfs- tools/scripts/ init-bottom/ plymouth executable,
* Include label.so in the initramfs, as well as the font support files it
depends on, needed for any text prompts or messages. This will bloat the
initramfs substantially (about 3MB) and impact boot performance as a
result, but the solution to that is to not include plymouth in the
initramfs unless we know it's needed for prompting (e.g., cryptsetup).
LP: #496765.
* Move x11 renderer into a separate package, to avoid pulling GTK into the
server install by default. LP: #509579.
* debian/rules: fix up the dh_makeshlibs exclude path to match where we're
currently installing.
* src/plugins/
all for text consoles, so if there are no pixel displays available,
return an error so that plymouth can fall back to the text plugin.
LP: #506717.
* Always include the 'details' and 'text' themes in the initramfs, since
plymouth uses these as built-in fallbacks and they're tiny.
* src/main.c: when a splash plugin fails to load, make sure to unregister
any related keyboard handlers.
* don't let the password walk off the end of the dialog box. LP: #496782.
* split the plymouth upstart job into plymouth and plymouth-splash, so that
plymouth starts up early and doesn't have to race gdm; and stop
unconditionally adding plymouth to the initramfs now that we can start it
this way.
* debian/
upgrade from versions prior to 0.8.0~-7, because update-initramfs called
before plymouth has been configured for the first time will accidentally
cause a call to --reset to use the text theme instead of the intended
default.
* debian/
these are now guaranteed to be available; copied from gdm upstart job.
* Depend on mountall (>= 2.0) to ensure we have the above guarantee.
* Mark /usr/share/
otherwise initramfs-tools skips it. LP: #509487.
* Drop the Debian revision (-1) from the version in the symbols file, to
fix a lintian warning.
