Package: cdebconf-newt-udeb Version: 0.136 Seen during installation in German with German keymap.
During password entry the frontend displays two asterisks if I type a single accented character like ä or ö using the special keys for those characters on the German keyboard. Notable is that the cursor remains on the correct position. Example: I type: qwertzöä (on a US keyboard this is: qwerty;') I see: ********** Cursor is: ^ Main consequence is that things are confusing for the user, especially when he wants to correct what he's typed. The password does get saved correctly. Could be this is not a bug in cdebconf but in newt or something.
