Branches for Saucy

Author: Colin Watson
Revision Date: 2013-10-01 10:29:00 UTC

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - If partman/automount is preseeded to true, automatically mount
    partitions with usefully-mountable filesystems on subdirectories of
    /media.
  - Add minimal support for NTFS partitions using ntfs-3g.
  - Mount FAT filesystems at boot (fstab pass 1).
  - Mount FAT (other than EFI System Partitions) and NTFS with
    umask=007,gid=46 (static group plugdev).
  - When formatting over the top of an existing swap partition, preserve
    its UUID to avoid leaving systems that use UUIDs in /etc/fstab without
    swap.
  - mount.d/basic: Close mount's fd 3 so that it doesn't inherit a debconf
    file descriptor, to prevent log-output hanging when ntfs-3g is in use.
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Allow armel/omap to use FAT for /boot, since the problems with it can
    be worked around while it's difficult to use anything else given uboot
    limitations.
  - Stop using libparted to format swap partitions.
  - Disable existing swap partitions before formatting them.
  - Use mkdosfs to create FAT filesystems, since libparted cannot handle
    doing that on non-512-sector disks.
  - Always use mkfs.ext2 to create ext2 filesystems, since libparted's
    ext2 code is deprecated and can't handle large sector sizes.
