Bug#343267: openssh-client: scp should have a more descriptive prompt than "Password:"

[Andrew Moise <chops@demiurgestudios.com>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.2p1-5
Severity: wishlist

[moise@mole /etc/openvpn]$ sudo scp 'moise@qix.daybreak.com:/etc/openvpn/*' .
Password:
Password:

  Surely you can see the problem; without keeping careful track of
time, it's impossible for me to know whether the prompt I'm
presented with is a sudo prompt or an scp prompt.  IMHO scp's prompt
should say something akin to "Password for qix.daybreak.com:".
  I am aware that this would probably break some scripts.
  I am also filing a similar bug against sudo, since it's also guilty
of an ambiguous password prompt.
