Package: ssh-askpass-fullscreen
Version: 0.3-2
Severity: normal

This bug is already reported against the package in ubuntu, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ssh-askpass-fullscreen/+bug/327588

Whenever ssh-askpass-fullscreen has a question to ask me (whether it's
for a passphrase or to allow ssh-agent to use my key) it's display a
dialog saying: "Could not grab keyboard. A malicious client may be
eavesdropping on your session."

If I use gtk-led-askpass or gnome-ssh-askpass (and the changelog says
the keyboard grabbing code is taken from that) I don't get that warning.

The fix pointed to in the ubuntu bug works, for the debian package the
right file to modify is debian/patches/01_grab_fix.patch though.

Although this isn't a security problem, it's almost as bad to give false
warnings like this, it might make people think they should ignore that
kind of warning.
