Launchpad: #125816, Fix string search expressions to find exact tokens.
Many string search expressions in this package could incorrectly match
on the wrong string. Consider these 2 lines in /etc/kernel-img.conf:

postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
header_postinst_hook = /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms

The original string search expression
$postinst_hook = "$1" if /postinst_hook\s*=\s*(\S+)/ig;
would match incorrectly on the last instance of 'postinst_hook' (header_postinst_hook),
thereby running the wrong post-installation script.

The new string search expression requires an exact match.

Touch '/var/run/do-not-hibernate' instead of '/var/run/do-not-suspend'
to indicate to the power-management layer that the kernel that is likely
to be used following a hibernate/resume-from-hibernate cycle has changed.
Re-closes: (Launchpad: #14908)

Disable CRASH_DUMP kernel, now that we support relocatable ones.

Fix shell-in-perl-script stupido.

Touch file to show that kernel was upgraded, so suspend/resume scripts
can recognize to not allow this: /var/run/do-not-suspend

* Merge from debian unstable.

* Patches remaining:
  - kdump kernel type addition. This will probably get backed out once we
    can move to using stock kernel for kdump, with relocation.
  - update-initramfs usage
  - update-notifier usage
  - Disable some debconf stuff.

* Detect UTS_RELEASE_HEADER for 2.6.18 allows users to compile
  the 2.6.18 kernel.

* Also this patch is pre-emptive for edgy+1 kernel builds.

Redirect update-initramfs output to stderr to avoid confusing debconf
(closes: Malone #54346).

15. By Ben Collins on 2006-08-02

Do not show debconf notice about same-name kernel image updates for
official kernels. That's because we ensure ABI compatibility.

14. By Ben Collins on 2006-07-18

* Add support for kernels configured with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.
* Modifiy xen package names (from Chuck).
