Load xenbus_probe_frontend if we're running under the Xen hypervisor
(LP: #857662).

53. By Colin Watson on 2011-01-10

* Add an 'archdetect-deb' package, containing /usr/bin/archdetect. Add an
  archdetect(1) manual page.
* Refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 in debian/copyright.

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Remove FireWire Ethernet support.
  - Register lp module on i386 and amd64.
  - Exit zero if you continue all the way through ethdetect's errors about
    having no network interfaces.
  - Register rtc module on amd64.
  - Drop priorities of a couple of ethdetect questions to medium.
  - On powerpc/ps3 systems, load ps3rom, ps3disk, and ps3_gelic, and add
    snd_ps3 to /etc/modules.
  - Install elfspe2 on Cell (powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell) platforms.
  - disk-detect.sh: Do not check the kernel command line for any option
    to enable dmraid support. If functional dmraid arrays are found, the
    user will be asked if they wish to activate them.
  - Make dmraid logging a bit neater.
  - 'dmraid -c -s' changed its output format; cope with both old and new.
  - Reinstate snd-powermac for i2s-a devices since apparently the lock-up
    has been fixed.
  - Remove dm-emc from the multipath modules, since it's gone since
    2.6.27.
  - Improve checks for dm-* drivers being present to avoid relying on them
    being built as modules.
  - Offer iSCSI targets for preseeding if partman-iscsi is available and
    no disk devices are found.
  - Stop installing acpi, acpid, and acpi-support-base if acpi is
    available.

* Backport from trunk:
  - Add -g/--guess option to archdetect to ask for heuristics that make it
    easier to bring up new boards, based on a patch from Michael
    Casadevall. See
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/08/msg00641.html for
    rationale. Requires libdebian-installer4-dev (>= 0.76).

Enable backup while running iscsi_login, to match behaviour when running
iscsi_login from partman.

48. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-14

Update Ubuntu-specific translations from Launchpad.

47. By Colin Watson on 2010-02-10

Don't try to install libc6-vfp any more; it hasn't been built since
eglibc 2.10.1-0ubuntu10 in karmic.

  - Drop priorities of a couple of ethdetect questions to medium.
  - Install mouseemu on systems likely to have single-button mice (i.e.
    non-desktop Macs), but not powerpc64 since that causes an oops in the
    input layer.
  - On powerpc/ps3 systems, load ps3rom, ps3disk, and ps3_gelic, and add
    snd_ps3 to /etc/modules.

  - Install libc6-vfp on armel systems where the vfp word is found in the
    /proc/cpuinfo features.
  - Offer iSCSI targets for preseeding if partman-iscsi is available and
    no disk devices are found.
  - Stop installing acpi, acpid, and acpi-support-base if acpi is
    available.
  - Add support for Dell Driver Injection disk v1, an integrated flash
    media based solution for adding in drivers after OS launches.

Fix db_fget arguments when checking for partman-iscsi preseeding.
