Bug Description

Ubuntu has been carrying a patch for a while that enabled Ubuntu to change some of the newt color palette selections, on a distro-wide basis.

This patch was submitted upstream, however, upstream newt committed a completely different version of this patch. See:
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689903

The upstream patch does indeed enable custom color palettes, but the format of the palette configuration is completely different.

Since the new upstream code has been merged into Raring, the /etc/newt/palette.ubuntu configuration file needs to be updated to:

root=,magenta
checkbox=,magenta
entry=,magenta
label=magenta,
actlistbox=,magenta
helpline=,magenta
roottext=,magenta
emptyscale=magenta
disabledentry=magenta,

  * debian/palette.ubuntu, debian/palette.debian: LP: #1155441
    - update the palette configuration file for the Ubuntu palette
    - the previous palette configuration file was read by a patch that
      upstream did not accept; upstream did enable the configurable
      palette feature, but the file format is completely different
    - update palette.ubuntu to set the necessary values to magenta
    - update palette.original, zeroing it out to empty (which will
      default to the upstream default colors
