Public bug reported:
When submitting a bug via apport, it frequently gives me multiple
prompts to enter a root password to allow it to collect information for
the report. This would make sense if it were telling me what it's
collecting and allowing me to choose what to include, but it doesn't; it
just presents a generic prompt telling me I have to enter my password in
order to submit the report, and then throws up this same prompt over and
over. All of these prompts past the first are entirely redundant and
just waste the user's time. It should either be giving us control over
what information to send, or only asking for the password *once*.
