[ Martin Pitt ]
* apport-{gtk,qt,cli}: Fix handling of file references added by package
  hooks. (LP: #205163)
* backends/packaging_rpm.py: Fix dependency resolution of uname(*) in the
  RPM backend. Thanks to Patryk Zawadzki! (LP: #213018)
* backends/packaging_rpm.py: Fix RPM platform parsing, thanks to Patryk
  Zawadzki! (LP: #213015)
* po/de.po: Fix typo (missing space).
* debian/apport.default: Disable Apport for the final Hardy release, since
  it is less useful in stable releases, and drains a lot of CPU and I/O
  power on crashes. Disabling it here instead of in update-notifier/adept is
  more discoverable and more centralized.

[ Daniel Hahler ]
* bin/apport-retrace: catch the same exceptions from Report.load() like
  ui.load_report() does (LP: #211899)
* Fix uncaught exceptions in apport itself (LP: #215929):
  - apport/REThread.py: check if "sys" exists in the except block of
    REThread.run()
  - apport_python_hook.py: check if "sys" exists in the finally block of
    apport_excepthook
* cli/apport-cli: Fix UnboundLocalError in ui_present_crash, which rendered
  apport-cli useless (for reporting crashes) (LP: #216151)

* debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for the hardy branch.
* apport/packaging.py: Introduce a new function enabled() which reports
  whether Apport should create crash reports. Signal crashes are controlled
  by /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern, but we need that to control whether
  reports for Python, package, or kernel crashes are generated.
* backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Provide implementation for
  PackageInfo.enabled() for Debian/Ubuntu by evaluating /etc/default/apport.
  Add various test cases for different configuration files and absent files.
* apport_python_hook.py: Do not create reports if Apport is disabled (in
  /etc/default/apport). (LP: #222260)

* etc/cron.daily/apport: Only attempt to remove files and symlinks, do not
  descend into subdirectories of /var/crash/. Doing so might be exploited by
  a race condition between find traversing a huge directory tree, changing
  an existing subdir into a symlink to e. g. /etc/, and finally getting that
  piped to rm. Patch based on work from Martin Pitt. Thanks to Stephane
  Chazelas for discovering this!
  - LP: #357024
  - CVE-2009-1295
