* Non-maintainer upload.
* Urgency high due to fix for DoS vulnerability.
* Fix buffer overflow in rc_mksid().
  The function converts the PID of pppd to hex to generate a pseudo-unique
  string. If the process id is bigger than 65535 (FFFF), its hex
  representation will be longer than 4 characters, resulting in a buffer
  overflow. This bug can be exploited to cause a remote DoS.
  (Closes: #782450)

  the addition of hardening build flags. (Closes: #734458)
  - Update debian/rules to pass COPTS/LDOPTS instead of CFLAGS/LDFLAGS.
  - Overhaul makefiles_cleanup patch. This now makes far fewer changes to the
    upstream Makefiles than previously.
  - Refresh no_crypt_hack, pppdump_use_zlib, pppoatm_resolver_light and
    zzz_config patches due to significant Makefile changes.
  Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the bulk of the Makefile work.
