This is the consequence of recent upstream changes in su (shadow
package).
Nicolas Fran?ois is currently investigating the packages hit by this
(unfortunately several of them).
We will try to find a way to have su keep its former behaviour if we
can but I currently don't know if we'll be able to suceed and when. I
would recommend fixing popcon for the new behaviour.
