pwgen ignores "symbols" command line option

[Jon Hood]

Binary package hint: pwgen

The program "pwgen" does not include symbols when used with the "secure" flag:
$ pwgen -ys 10 5
BXK13RVW09 f21sRPoPc0 N2MNOKsK00 puwqBdGo7k g9Q1Uli21Y

however, it works fine if the "secure" option is not enabled
$ pwgen -y 10 5

I've verified this using pwgen package version 2.06-1build1 in Karmic. It works if you use:

wonderwoman:[~] pwgen -s -y 10 5
X=vdP'7lU- 93]J=D>XY= Rdf8o*p,E@ oMkbP~}J9= i"bu0Q^iF6

There is actually a patch in the upstream bug report.

Attached is a debdiff that resolves the issue.

I confirm that this patch resolves the issue. Thank you Brian!
