os-prober 1.34 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

os-prober (1.34) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only look for a smart version of mount if we're using busybox mount. In
    a normal system, mount probably already handles labels and UUIDs, and
    using mount from another filesystem is risky enough that it's worth
    avoiding if possible.
  * Memoise calls to 'basename $0' in log function.
  * Handle escaped special characters in /etc/fstab and /proc/mounts
    (LP: #433910).
  * dash defines test's -nt operator differently from bash, as it's entitled
    to do since this is an extension not defined in POSIX. If file1 exists
    and file2 does not, bash returns true but dash returns false. Don't rely
    on bash's behaviour when checking whether to use GRUB Legacy or GRUB 2
    configuration files, otherwise we end up using neither when only one set
    of configuration exists and /bin/sh is dash.
  * Try to map LABEL= and UUID= ourselves in linux_mount_boot rather than
    relying on mount to do it, to further reduce the chance that we need to
    use mount from another filesystem.
  * If the filesystem identified by linux-boot-prober as /boot is already
    mounted somewhere else, then bind-mount it rather than trying to mount
    it again.
