* debian policy forbids dpkg conffile handling and maintainer script
  configuration in the same package as this leads to inconsistant behaviour
  between apt-get install and dpkg -i installs of the same package. Switch
  wholy to the maintainer script. LP: #368745
* kexec reboot has been enabled by default whereas it should have been
  opt-in, it is therefore appropriate to force this off for upgrades from
  older versions. LP: #251242
* kexec based reboot triggers a number of semanatic changes which
  are visible to the user, it should be opt-in by default. Adjust
  kexec.default to disable kexec by default. LP: #251242

[ Tim Gardner ]

* Updated to kexec-tools v2.0.0 from kexec-20080324-2.1 at
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools.git.

  Update steps:
  Removed debian/patches/update_kexec_manpage.dpatch
  Updated debian/patches/distclean_fix.dpatch
  Removed obsolete debian/patches/powerpc_fix.dpatch
  debian/rules: Run aclocal, autoheader, and autoconf if configure does not exist.

  Try to forget 20080226-2.0.0-ubuntu1 ever existed. This version was updated directly
  from 20080324-2.1 and completely obsoletes 20080226-2.0.0-ubuntu1.

* Fix rules to handle updated package makefile+autotools
  package build now depends on autotools1.9

[ Jim Lieb ]

* Update to 2.0.0 official release to include later kernels and fixes
  for x86_64 etc. Drop all patches except debianize which is reworked to
  contain all of the debian packaging specifics.
* Fix rules to handle updated package makefile+autotools
  package build now depends on autotools1.9
* Update copyright and other bits that lintian complains about

[ Tim Gardner ]

* Messed with debian/rules to make it a bit more sane in its use of dpatch.
* Add rsync as a build dependency.
* Fixed some path issues in debian/kdump.initramfs. makedumpfile seems to have
  changed locations.

Do no load kernel for kexec by default. People who install this package
don't always want this feature automatically. LP: #251242

12. By Ben Collins <email address hidden> on 2008-06-20

* kdump.init.d: Use correct images (based on uname -r).
* kdump.initramfs: Correct usage of makedumpfile

11. By Ben Collins <email address hidden> on 2008-06-19

* kdump.initramfs: Add proper hooks for using makedumpfile
* kdump.init.d: Load correct kernel image for crashdumps
