Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating, and happy Thursday to everyone
else. I've been looking at this new fontconfig (and have run into some of the
terrible looking pages I remembered from previous attempts to upgrade). The
solution is certainly *not* to disable bitmap fonts. I need those in my
terminal emulator, and have never seen a vector font that looks correct. What
I've done this time is make the defaults for fontconfig sane and user
configurable, and then converted the two bitmap fonts that are causing the
problems to OTB format and changing the family name from "name" to "name (OTB)"
which prevents them from being picked up by default.
Hope this looks better! Cheers! :-)

a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-52.txz: Rebuilt.
geninitrd: since we're sourcing /etc/default/geninitrd, we might as well test
the AUTO_REMOVE_ORPHANED_INITRDS variable directly instead of grepping for it
in the defaults file. Thanks to Mechanikx.

Let's not link any hinting, subpixel, or lcdfilter conf files by default.
That way the user can choose what to link (if anything) without future
fontconfig updates stomping on those choices.

geninitrd: If the kernel to use was provided on the command line or with
a predefined KERNEL variable, make sure that the KERNEL variable is set to
that value before handing off control to a custom script.
Thanks to LuckyCyborg for the bug report.

setup.01.mkinitrd: removed KERNEL_SYMLINK option.
If a kernel is provided to geninitrd on the command line ($1), this will
always be the kernel used.
Thanks to Mechanikx.
Removed GENINITRD_SILENT option.
init: cap the size of /run to 25% of the system RAM since the previous
default of 32M is way too small for many purposes. I have seen other Linux
systems cap this at half the system RAM, but that seems to me a bit much.
/etc/default/geninitrd:
Added GENINITRD_OVERRIDE_SCRIPT which can be set to anything you like.
Support for hardcoded {/usr/local/sbin,/opt/sbin}/geninitrd was removed.
Added GENINITRD_DIALOG (do we want the dialog --infobox output?)
Added GENINITRD_COMMAND_OUTPUT (do we want to see command output?)

Unless disabled in /etc/default/geninitrd, automatically generate an initial

a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-46.txz: Rebuilt.
geninitrd: also accept /opt/sbin/geninitrd as an override.
Suggested by regdub.
Since the installer sends different args to the setup scripts, we can't use
$1 as the kernel file with setup.01.mkinitrd, so convert it into a variable
in geninitrd instead (if needed).
mkinitrd_command_generator.sh: pvdisplay will complain if there are any file
descriptors besides stdin, stdout, and stderr, which will always be true when
called from a package install script due to file locking. So send stderr from
the two calls to pvdisplay to /dev/null.

The hook to trigger this will be in the next kernel-generic package.

kernel doinst.sh and AUTOGENERATE_INITRD=false.
geninitrd: Look for an override script called /usr/local/sbin/geninitrd,

This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
Fix crash within function XML_ResumeParser from a NULL pointer dereference
by disallowing function XML_StopParser to (stop or) suspend an unstarted
parser. A new error code XML_ERROR_NOT_STARTED was introduced to properly
communicate this situation.
