Bug Description

fwknop is often a single point of failure when used to secure firewalls. A failing fwknop will most likely result in an inaccessible server for the administrator. Since fwknop 2.x is a complete rewrite of the software in a another language, shipping a release candidate version of it seams rather reckless to me. Ubuntu should ship at least a reasonably stable version to minimize the risk for admins to lock themselves out when upgrading.

Sponsored for Christian Kampka (kampka)

---------------
fwknop (2.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Imported Upstream version 2.0.2
  * Removed previous patches applied upstream.
  * Set debian compatibility to 9 in d.compat.
  * Fixed libfko0.symbols file which contains bad symbols from one of the
    first rc releases. The following functions have been removed:
    - _rijndael_decrypt
    - _rijndael_encrypt
    - append_b64
    - digest_to_hex
    - get_random_data
    - gpg_decrypt
    - gpg_encrypt
    - rij_salt_and_iv
    - rijndael_init
  * Added previously removed fileds in d.control (Vcs-git/Vcs-Browser)
    (Closes: #682057)
  * Created missing m4 directory before configuring the package.
  * Use of the hardening flags:
    - Added BD on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~) and on debhelper (>= 9) in d.control.
    - Set debian compatibility to 9 in d.compat.
    - Set hardening flags through the DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS variable,
      exported it and included buildflags.mk in d.rules.
    - Do not overwrite CFLAGS anymore, we now use CFLAGS += in d.rules.
  * Enable installation of multiarch binaries :
    - Added Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends} for the libfko package in
      d.control.
    - Replaced occurrences of /usr/lib/ in debian/*.install with /usr/lib/*/.
  * Fixed d.rules to handle the new generated configuration files
    [access|fwknopd].conf.inst. We revert upstream changes with an overwrite
    on dh_install.
  * Updating fwknop-server.postinst to disable easy setup.
