Ah, perhaps it is. Since shell-prompt-pattern is basically not used anymore,
I had forgotten that I had one. However, in this case it's still clearly
wrong, since it's not _my_ shell that's being started, but root's.

I think it _definitely_ should match common shell prompts, as
`shell-prompt-pattern' is quite likely to be wrong, for the reasons I gave
above:
(1) It's not used by shell-mode anymore, so it's going to suffer bit-rot.
(2) In many cases, a shell started by tramp will be in a `different
context' than a normal user-shell, and so will have a different
prompt anyway.
Probably it ought to be possible to modify this on a per-connection-type and
per-machine basis (but presumably that will be handled by the whizzy config
mechanism that will added to address other problems, right?).
