Bug Description
Binary package hint: ddclient
I am using ubuntu 8.10 and ddclient 3.7.3-4.1ubuntu2.
When I configure ddclient, debconf asks me for a password. If I enter password that contains some character sequences like backslash followed by digit zero, they are interpreted as escape sequences. Workaround is to edit ddclient.conf manually.

+ This also partially fixes #285007 as it uses a web interface
to determine the own IP address (but only when configuring for
DynDNS.com services). This must be fixed for others as well.
