Please merge initramfs-tools 0.139 from Debian unstable.

Updated changelog and diff against Debian unstable to be attached shortly.

[Dave Jones (waveform)]

Attaching patch against Debian unstable. For ease of review, I've also pushed relevant commits and tags to the following repository:

  https://code.launchpad.net/~waveform/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+git/initramfs-tools

Specifically:

* The logical/0.137ubuntu12 tag represents our split-out delta on top of old/debian (0.137)
* The merge/0.139ubuntu1 tag represents the rebased delta on top of new/debian (0.139)

Hence, the following command may produce output useful to the purposes of review:

  git range-diff old/debian..logical/0.137ubuntu12 new/debian..merge/0.139ubuntu1

A test package has been built in the following PPA:
