No-change backport to trusty (LP: #1361340)

8. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2013-12-14

* New upstream maintenance release
  + Fix several cosmetic code issues
  + Manpage updates
    + Make it clear that the output order of microcodes is not stabilized
    + Make it clear that iucode_tool always break links when writing a
      data file, and that it doesn't replace files atomically, so they
      can get corrupted/lost if iucode-tool is interrupted while writing
    + Reword several notes for better readability
  + Use openat() when loading from a directory and when creating files in
    a directory. Thus, iucode-tool will read/write to the same directory
    even while racing another process that is trying to rename it while
    iucode-tool is already running

* New upstream release
  + Add verbose title to manpage iucode_tool(8)
  + Add support to write an early initramfs archive for Linux v3.9
* install iucode-tool symlinks to iucode_tool (closes: #689128)

6. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2013-03-28

* New upstream release
  + Document missing -W, --write-named option in iucode_tool(8)
    manpage (closes: #687963)
  + Print the number of unique signatures in verbose mode
  + Add loose date-based filtering (--loose-date-filtering option),
    which is useful when trying to select microcode for very old
    processors
  + Skip empty files and directories instead of aborting with an
    error
  + Add an option to default to an empty selection (-s!)
  + Ensure that microcodes with the same metadata have the same
    opaque data (payload) when in --strict-checks mode (default)
* Update debian/copyright to match upstream's

5. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2012-08-26

* New upstream release
  + Fix regression introduced in 0.8.2 that caused all microcodes
    to be selected by --scan-system on a box with unsupported
    processors (e.g. non-Intel)
  + Update README: Intel has some microcode update information in
    some public processor specification update documents

4. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2012-07-29

* New upstream release
  + Update documentation and manpages for the new microcode
    update interface in Linux v3.6.
  + Fail safe when --scan-system cannot access the cpuid driver:
    instead of not selecting anything, still select all microcodes
    if no other microcode selection option was used (closes: #683178)
* debian/control: add X-Vcs-* fields

3. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2012-07-24

* New upstream release
  + inform user with an error message if cpuid driver is missing, and
    --scan-system was requested
  + manpage updates

2. By Henrique de Moraes Holschuh on 2012-06-07

* Initial public release (closes: #611133)
  + Reduced functionality release, we need the tool in the archive for
    bootstrapping, as it will become a build-dependency of the intel-microcode
    package
