gfxboot (3.2.23-2ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Kanotix. Remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/01_x11libs.dpatch: Adjust paths for Debian/Ubuntu's X
      layout.
  * Remove as-yet-unsatisfiable Recommends: grub-gfxboot.
  * Suggest gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (before other themes).
  * debian/patches/04_mkbootmsg_asprintf.dpatch: Fix some non-exploitable
    buffer overflows in mkbootmsg (closes: Malone #27011).
  * debian/patches/05_mkbootmsg_ctype.dpatch: Make sure to pass unsigned
    chars to isspace(), per the C standard; not doing so can cause problems
    on powerpc and other architectures.
  * debian/patches/06_getx11font_endianness.dpatch: Treat the output of
    iconv_open("utf32le") as little-endian even on big-endian architectures.
    Make sure all numbers in the output file are encoded little-endian.
