* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary unmount with fuse (LP: #670622)
  - This update adds support for new options required by the fuse
    security update.
  - mount/umount.{c,8}: Add --fake option to umount(8), which omits
    calling the actual umount syscall (and the loop device deletion) but
    modifies /etc/mtab.
    - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=97a3cef4f1
  - mount/devname.c: "Spec" was still canonicalized despite
    --no-canonicalize. This resulted in a hang during login with
    pam_encfs. (Debian Bug #593336)
  - http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=1cf4c20b19
  - CVE-2010-3879

* Merge from Debian experimental, remaining changes:
  - Since udev is required in Ubuntu, the hwclock.sh init script is
    not called on startup and the hwclockfirst.sh init script is
    removed.
  - Use wildcards for symbols file, since they use versioned symbols
    properly.
  - Remove /etc/adjtime on upgrade if it was not used.
  - Install custom blkid.conf to use /dev/.blkid.tab since we don't
    expect device names to survive a reboot
  - No lsb_release call in mount.preinst since we'd need Pre-Depends
    (LP: #383697).
  - Do not install initramfs hook, since our initramfs already handles
    including blkid.
  - Mention mountall(8) in fstab(5) manpages, along with its special
    options.

* For the case where mount is called with a directory to mount, look
  that directory up in mountall's /lib/init/fstab if we couldn't find
  it mentioned anywhere else. This means "mount /proc", "mount /sys",
  etc. work.

Fix infinite loop in blkid when superblocks_probe bails out right at the
start, as it may do on extended partitions (LP: #528073).

67. By Michael Vogt on 2010-02-17

* debian/control:
  - remove dependency on initscripts, we get them via the upstart-jobs
    dependency (that is generated via misc:Depends) and removing the
    direct dependency here fixes a configure problem with apt because
    apt wants to immediate-configure direct dependencies

* mount/fstab.5: document the bootwait, nobootwait, showthrough
  and optional mount options accepted by mountall.
* mount/mount.c: don't pass the above options to mount(). LP: #479965.

64. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-10-21

Always return encrypted block devices as the first detected encryption
system (ie. LUKS, since that's the only one) rather than probing for
additional metadata and returning an ambivalent result. LP: #428435.

* Removed access checks for hardware clock when called with --systz,
  since we may not have the rtc device at the point we run hwclock.
  I believe this is the cause of LP: #436076.
* Set kernel timezone even when the hardware clock is in UTC.
  LP: #426886.

* Don't step the system clock, or save the hardware clock on upgrades
  in case the time isn't quite correct. LP: #430878.
* Remove the hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh scripts on upgrades, since
  these are now Upstart jobs. LP: #434767.

62. By Steve Langasek on 2009-09-15

* Rename upstart jobs in source package, to fix the failure to include
  them when building the util-linux binary.
* Rename calls to update-rc.d in the util-linux postinst, which are going
  to fail on new installs because we no longer ship an init script.

FFE LP: #427356.

* Replace hwclock udev rule with an Upstart job. This has never needed
  to be a udev rule after all since it doesn't access the hardware!
* Replace init script with an Upstart job run on shutdown.
* debian/control:
  - Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware dh_installinit
  - Add missing ${misc:Depends}

* Fix build with newer glibc due to versionsort() prototype change.
