+
+  * debian/rules : Add "--enable-command-args". (LP: #1555258)
+    This update enables the command-args support in nrpe 
+    by not ignoring option "dont_blame_nrpe=1". By default, 
+    the option is set as follow : "dont_blame_nrpe=0", which 
+    has the same effect of having the command-args support 
+    disabled at compile time like Debian does. Ubuntu has decided 
+    to deviate from Debian upstream for that particular case to 
+    allow/unblock the Ubuntu users of nrpe to make the choice for 
+    themselves whether to accept the security risks that the feature 
+    involve by manually enabling command-args in nrpe.cfg or not. 
+    For more details as of why Debian has decided to disable the 
+    feature can be found in debian/NEWS. (closes: #756479)
