At this point I would suggest you try and get upstream to make a new
point release (i.e. 3.16.4) that would be more preferable than pulling
in the 6 odd patches that are required to fix this bug!

Bug description:
[Impact]
There are three patches in this one fix. So there are three bugs which
are fixed:
- Bug [1]: If the "Next" button ever gets set to "Sign In", it won't
get reset to next until the next question asked by pam.
- Bug [2]: Normally the user isn't allowed to proceed passed
the username question until they've filled it in.
To ensure this, the authprompt code desensitizes
the next button when the number of characters change to
zero.
Unfortunately it fails to desensitize the next button
up front when the entry starts out empty.
- Bug [3]: Users are not allowed to cancel if the verification has not
started yet and they are typing in their username.
These are rather important things to be fixed as they make the login
process more confusing and difficult.
How the bugs are fixed:
- Bug [1] fix: Reset "Next" button to "Next" when asking for username.
- Bug [2] fix: Disallow the user to press "Next" when the username
field is empty up front.
- Bug [3] fix: authPrompt no longer ignores the request to cancel
before a user has started verification and is still typing in their
username.
[Test Case]
- Reproduce Bug [1]:
On the first login screen (or log out - not lock), click "Sign In?",
then before doing anything else click "Sign In", if the button allows
you to press it and is not greyed out, then you have successfully
reproduced this bug.
- Reproduce Bug [2]:
On the locked screen click "Sign In?", then before doing anything else
press "Cancel". If nothing happens, you have successfully reproduced
this bug.
- Reproduce Bug [3]:
On the locked screen click "Sign In?", then in the username field,
start entering your username (or any text), then instead of pressing
"Next", press "Cancel", if nothing happens then you have successfully
reproduced this bug.
[Regression Potential]
1. You may notice that we only fade the authentication prompt back in
if the auth prompt status is "VERIFICATION_SUCCEEDED". It's possible
for it to be "NOT_VERIFYING" if the authprompt gets reset for some
other reason in the interim.
2. You may also notice that the user session crashes when the login
screen is reactivated.
