Please sync mediawiki 1:1.15.4-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
The Ubuntu package simply contains the upstream security fixes as included in
the 1.15.2/3/4 package.

Changelog entries since current maverick version 1:1.15.1-1ubuntu3:

mediawiki (1:1.15.4-1) unstable; urgency=high

  [ Jonathan Wiltshire ]
  * New upstream security release (closes: #585918).
  * CVE-2010-1647:
    Fix a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability which allows
    remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted
    Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) strings that are processed as script by
    Internet Explorer.
  * CVE-2010-1648:
    Fix a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the login interface
    which allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for
    requests that (1) create accounts or (2) reset passwords, related to the
    Special:Userlogin form.

  [ Romain Beauxis ]
  * Put debian's package version in declared version.
    Should help sysadmins to keep track of installed 
    versions, in particular with regard to security
    updates. 
  * Added Jonathan Wiltshire to uploaders.
  * Do not clan math dir if it does not exist (for instance
    when running clean from SVN).

mediawiki (1:1.15.3-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream release.
  * Fixes security issue:
  "MediaWiki was found to be vulnerable to login CSRF. An attacker who
   controls a user account on the target wiki can force the victim to log
   in as the attacker, via a script on an external website. If the wiki is
   configured to allow user scripts, say with "$wgAllowUserJs = true" in
   LocalSettings.php, then the attacker can proceed to mount a
  phishing-style attack against the victim to obtain their password."

mediawiki (1:1.15.2-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream release.
  * Fixes security issue:
  "Two security issues were discovered:

   A CSS validation issue was discovered which allows editors to display
   external images in wiki pages. This is a privacy concern on public
   wikis, since a malicious user may link to an image on a server they
   control, which would allow that attacker to gather IP addresses and
   other information from users of the public wiki. All sites running
   publicly-editable MediaWiki installations are advised to upgrade. All
   versions of MediaWiki (prior to this one) are affected.

   A data leakage vulnerability was discovered in thumb.php which affects
   wikis which restrict access to private files using img_auth.php, or
   some similar scheme. All versions of MediaWiki since 1.5 are affected."
  * Updated standards.
  * Removed section about upgrading from mediawiki1.x packages
    in README.Debian since they do not exist in any supported distribution
    anymore.
  * Switched php5-gd and imagemagick in Suggests. Closes: #542008
  * Backported patch from revision 51083 to fix a bug with invalid titles.
  Closes: #537134
  * Backported patch from revision 61090 to add a unique guid per RSS
    feed element.
  Closes: #383130
  * Refreshed patches.
