[Bug 1080445] [NEW] Lubuntu full disk encryption password quality check on installation is confused by (

[John H Woods]

Public bug reported:

Installing from lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso in VirtualBox, select
Encrypt the new Ubuntu Installation...  When entering the security key
is requested, and as one types it a quality indicator appears to the
right of the input box

Adding an open bracket to a strong password, however, seems to confuse
the quality checker, for instance:

Entered			Displayed
abcab			weak
abcab1			fair
abcab12			good
abcab12#$		strong
abcab12#$(		short

Furthermore, after using the final password, I am not able to mount the
installation, as it complains of a bad passphrase.
