[Bug 816918] Re: please sync flashrom 0.9.4+r1394-1 from debian unstable

For bug fixes you should cherry-pick the fixes from your release and
follow the SRU process [1]. Backports are not designed for bug fixes,
but for new upstream release that introduce new features.

Title:
  please sync flashrom 0.9.4+r1394-1 from debian unstable

Status in “flashrom” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  i am one of the upstream maintainers. we have released a new stable version on 2011-07-26 (http://www.flashrom.org/Flashrom/0.9.4). our Debian maintainer has prepared a new package, which is now in unstable (or on the way there).
  please sync!

  a backport for LTS might also be a good idea, because there are many
  bugs fixed since the (very old) version in LTS that could brick the
  user's PC completely. dunno if that qualifies for a backport though.
