It seems like it's not preserving environment when it's invoked from
root.  Normal users are apparently not affected.

# echo 'echo $PATH' | PATH=/usr/bin:/bin/:/test-keyword su -p
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11


# echo 'echo $PATH' | PATH=/usr/bin:/bin/:/test-keyword su -p -c bash
/usr/bin:/bin/:/test-keyword





Here's a proposed regression test for you to test the bug (to be
placed under debian/pbuilder-test; which is used by B92test-pkg
pbuilder hook:
