makedumpfile 1:1.5.9-4 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-4) sid; urgency=medium

  * Allow for symlinks to be created for vmlinux files : On Power8
    architecture, systems are booting from a vmlinux file. The symlink
    /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz has to point to this file.  (LP: #1536904)

  * Add functionality to create symlinks for older kernels : If kdump
    is installed on systems with more than one kernel package, the smaller
    initrd.img file will only be created for the latest kernel. Adding the
    'symlinks' functionality will allow for the creation of symlinks to
    older kernels. If the smaller initrd.img file is missing in /var/lib/kdump
    it will be created beforehand.  This will be preempted if kdump is already
    loaded. (LP: #1537714)

  * Fix kdump-config manpage : add documentation for the propagate option.
    (LP: #1538148)

  * Improve manpage for kdump-config
