* Backport changes to fix kdump functionality. LP: #828731.
  - debian/kdump.initramfs: call /usr/bin/makedumpfile via a chroot command,
    so that if makedumpfile is statically linked, we get proper library
    resolution. Thanks to Louis Bouchard <email address hidden> for
    the patch. LP: #785425.
  - debian/kdump.initramfs: handle the possibility that /usr, /boot, or
    /var is on a separate filesystem and needs to be manually mounted before
    calling makedumpfile. LP: #828731.
  - Depend on makedumpfile, without which the initramfs script doesn't work.
  - Fix an unnecessary bashism.
  - Only install the kdump initramfs script and depend on makedumpfile on
    architectures that makedumpfile supports.

New dpatch, arm-higher-initrd-load-addr, bump initrd load offset from
0x800000 to 0x8000000 since our kernels are so big that they overwrite the
initrd when they uncompress; fixes kexec initrd support on all ARM Ubuntu
kernels; LP: #568283.

Don't call db_stop in the postinst; this is not what it's for, and it
causes update-grub to break on Ubuntu by killing the frontend that child
processes expect to talk to. LP: #518853.

Release 1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1

32. By Loïc Minier on 2010-02-08

Build-dep on automake instead of automake1.9.

31. By Loïc Minier on 2010-02-08

* Merge from Debian; replace arm-getpagesize-unistd and configure_syntax
  dpatches to use their Debian equivalents; remaining changes:
  - Run aclocal; build-dep on automake1.9.
  - Add and install kdump init script and initramfs snippet; depend on
    initramfs-tools and call the update-initramfs trigger. Also call
    update-grup after update-initramfs trigger.
  - Default to not kexecing a kernel on boot in the automatically generated
    conffile; also disable this on upgrades from older versions.
  - Fix architecture detection on ARM, cherry-picked from upstream.

30. By Loïc Minier on 2010-02-07

New dpatch, arm-getpagesize-unistd, cherry pick from upstream "arm:
Include unistd.h for getpagesize()"
c986de289120d449bf4d94c46c676566ccfd4202 to fix build issue on armel
breaking the binaries.

29. By Loïc Minier on 2010-02-07

New dpatch, arm-fix-architecture-detection, cherry-pick second hunk of
upstream commit "arm: fix architecture detection"
5545216da4360d6494cc7ba574e04620a826a332. Fixes support for armutsnames
in particular armv7l.

28. By Loïc Minier on 2010-02-07

Re-add automake1.9 build-dep since we still patch configure.ac and this
triggers an autoreconf. (Upstream doesn't use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.)
