Remove makedumpfile from syncpackage blacklist

[Chris J Arges]

Please sync makedumpfile 1.5.7-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - kdump-config: load kdump kernel from vmlinux too.

This has been merged in debian by Louis Bouchard.

makedumpfile (1.5.7-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <email address hidden>]
  * Add possibility to find vmlinux for ppc64el arch
    Closes: #763688

Can makedumpfile be removed from the syncpackage blacklist?

syncpackage: From sync-blacklist.txt:
syncpackage: # cjwatson, 2014-12-02: requested by louis-bouchard, temporarily
syncpackage: reverting unstable to (epoched) earlier version for Debian release
syncpackage: management purposes
syncpackage: makedumpfile

[Louis Bouchard (louis)]

Please, please, please _DON'T_ remove makedumpfile from the syncpackage blacklist.

In order to have a working version of makedumpfile in Debian Jessie, the version in Sid has been deliberately brought back to 1.5.3-2 so it can be unblocked by the release team and included in Jessie from Sid.

Once this gets done and Jessie is released, an updated version of 1.5.7 with systemd enablement will be uploaded to Sid and we can then remove it from the blacklist.

Otherwise, a very old version will make it to Vivid

The next version as wanted in future sid / stretch should be uploaded
into experimental suite at earliest convenience and synced to ubuntu.
