freetype 2.5.2-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

freetype (2.5.2-1ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - debian/patches-freetype/revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch:
      revert commit "Fix metrics on size request for scalable fonts.",
      which breaks gtk underlining markups
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Fix png configuration for cross builds.
    - Run aclocal and autoconf.

freetype (2.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - fixes a crasher bug with certain fonts.  Closes: #733052.
    - drop of additional symbols which were previously exported but are only
      meant for debugging and upstream recommends not enabling them when
      building in "release mode".  If this impacts users of freetype, we can
      re-enable these symbols later.
  * Call autogen.sh on build to refresh autotools; not using dh-autoreconf
    because the upstream directory structure is non-standard and it's a
    throw-away dir, so there's no advantage to dh-autoreconf's rollback
    support.
  * Fix symbols file with respect to more complete version info found in
    Ubuntu.
  * Drop debian/patches-ft2demos/compiler-warning-fixes.patch, which is
    actually a bug in the compiler_hardening_fixes.patch; fix it there
    instead.
  * Fix libpng detection when cross-building.
