[Bug 1020035] [NEW] Sync syslinux 2:4.05+dfsg-6 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Andy Whitcroft]

Public bug reported:

Please sync syslinux 2:4.05+dfsg-6 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Fix reference to linux/ext2_fs.h which is now removed from the kernel
    exported headers as of v3.4.  Instead use the offical userspace copy
    exported by e2fslibs-dev.  Fixes FTBS with 3.4.x kernels.

This fix has now hit debian as the final change as documented in the -6
upload there.  This is the only change in our delta.  The remaining changes
in the package look reasonable and safe.

Changelog entries since current quantal version 2:4.05+dfsg-5ubuntu1:

syslinux (2:4.05+dfsg-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Using official package-type for udeb packages in control now.
  * Switching to xz compression.
  * Updating todo file.
  * Making some editorial changes in copyright file.
  * Adding copyright headers in local debian additions.
  * Adding patch from Andy Whitcroft <apw at canonical.com> to fix FTBFS
    with 3.4.x kernels (Closes: #676405).
