* 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.

--no-undefined is a linker option, not a gcc option.

kdump.initramfs: panic if assumptions are not satisfied, instead of
letting the system continue to boot inside the crash kernel. (LP: #600051)

* Drop debian/commit-templates/patch, unused.
* Drop upgrade snippet for versions older than the lucid one.
* Merge with Debian.
  - Drop dpatch arm-fix-architecture-detection, included in Debian as
    arm_arch dpatch.
  - Remaining changes:
    + Run aclocal during build; 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-grub after update-initramfs trigger.
    + Default to not kexecing a kernel on boot in the automatically
      generated conffile.
    + Add arm-higher-initrd-load-addr dpatch to 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.

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
