Please sync expat  2.1.0-7 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be droppped:

expat (2.1.0-6ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * No-change rebuild to get debug symbols on all architectures.

Unless I'm missing something, this was just a rebuild without any
changes.

Changes in Debian since 2.1.0-6:
expat (2.1.0-7) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix CVE-2015-1283, multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer
    function (closes: #793484).
  * Update Standards-Version to 3.9.6 .

Note that this includes fix for a CVE. I don't know what the policy is regarding syncs with the ongoing gcc5 transition, so please let me know if this will need to wait until that has been sorted out.
