Please sync hdparm 9.48+ds-1 (main) from Debian testing (main)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Rationale:
==========

* The version in xenial is 4 years old (released in 2012).

* The package comes from Debian testing, which means that:
 - It compiles and up to date on all architectures it has previously been compiled for in unstable;
 - It does not have release-critical bugs;
 - All of its dependencies are satisfiable by packages already in testing, which is what the LTS is derived from;
 - Installing the package does not break any packages currently in testing

* Ubuntu changes are now in the Debian package, there is no need to maintain delta
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upstream changelog:
===================

hdparm-9.48:
 - fix bugs from devslp patch.
hdparm-9.47:
 - added devslp patch (IDENTIFY word 76) from David Woodhouse.
 - help and manpage fixes from Michal Minar.
hdparm-9.46:
 - fix compilation with "musl libc".
 - added "hex:aabbcc.." for binary security passwords.
 - return EIO when read_big_block() fails
 - use llabs() rather than abs() in identify.c
hdparm-9.45:
 - fixed blocksize handling in fibmap code to use result from FIGETBSZ in more places (Anton Altaparmakov).
 - fixed divide by zero exception in geom.c
 - tidying up formatting in sgio.c
hdparm-9.44:
 - changed reg_flags struct to more closely match kernel definition (Lucas Magasweran).
 - added fwdownload mode "E" support (Rusty Carruth).
 - fix timeouts for security-erase (again!)
 - change display of security "supported" to handle ambiguous reporting from drives
 - don't rely upon C-library for byte-swapping
 - added --dco-setmax support, courtesy of Geoff Papilion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry I can't work on this merge because I don't have any packaging skills. I hope a developer could push this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta:
  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    + debian/control:
      - Do not depend on lsb-base (we no longer use init script).
    + debian/hdparm.udev:
      - Don't trigger the udev rule on sd[a-z]*; yes, this means we aren't
        handling /dev/sdaa, but it also means we avoid spurious triggers on
        /dev/sda{1,2,...}.
    + hdparm.c, identify.c, sgio.h: import patch from
      http://sourceforge.net/p/hdparm/patches/35/ to add support to 'hdparm -I'
      for reporting DevSleep information.  LP 1031173.
  * debian/95hdparm-apm: Drop comment diff.
  * debian/rules: Drop delta, most likely introduced in 6.3-3ubuntu1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
