Bug Description

Binary package hint: ajaxterm

/usr/bin/ajaxterm calls /usr/share/ajaxterm/ajaxterm.py like so:
exec $PYTHONPATH/ajaxterm.py $@

If I run something like
ajaxterm --cmd "vmstat 5"

The argv ends up being "ajaxterm", "--cmd", "vmstat", "5" which obvisously won't work.

  * Properly escape arguments to ajaxterm.py in /usr/bin wrapper (LP:
    #750040)
  * 90_token_based_access_control.diff (LP: #741619):
    - Add a -t option to pass a token that must be passed by clients
      to get access.
  * 91_terminate_on_idle.diff (LP: #741619):
    - Add -T option to terminate ajaxterm itself if idle for extended
      periods of time.
