Attached debdiff between trusty-updates and SRU.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Using the Unity lockscreen on a multiple-screen session results in the
+ password field being cleared every time different screen is focused.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
  Using trusty candidate on a dual monitor config
  - log into unity
  - lock screen
  - start typing your password on one screen
  - move the pointer on the other screen
  
  -> the entry is displayed empty
  
+ Ideally the same entry would be move so you can keep typing even if you
+ happened to have move the focus, that's what lightdm/unity-greeter is
+ doing

+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Any modification to the password dialogs could result in the inability
+ to unlock the screen or make passwords available in cleartext.  Care has
+ been take to avoind introducing such situations with this change.
+ 
+ [Other info]
+ 
+ The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU fix has been cherry-picked from the Ubuntu
+ 14.10 release, where it has been in production use for a few months.
