The way apport works, it can't hold onto the root password between
function calls. This bug was "solved" by attaching all three gdm files
in one function call.

However, the display manager data and the kernel data require separate
function calls, and since both require sudo to do so, you get prompted
twice. Still an undesired behavior, but not this bug.
