I count 3 requests on current plucky, two of them coming from the
plymouth hook, one of them from the general ubuntu hook (which is also
run for apport).
We could reduce the immediate issue in plymouth by moving both of its
requests into a single 'execute_multiple_root_commands', but you'd still
have two prompts. In truth I think we should move to some sort of
continuation-based API to gather all the root-requiring calls from all
the hooks, execute them all in one batch, and run callbacks afterwards.

Title:
Apport requests admin password multiple times
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I was using apport-bug and apport-collect, and each one opened a password
screen requesting my password four times.
There was one just for dmesg, and other just for acpi tables that apport does
the dump.
Maybe we can find a way to be just once but preserve the access to all times
the command needs permission.
