syslinux version for experimental, please sponsor

[Lukas Schwaighofer <lukas@schwaighofer.name>]

Hi,

I've packaged a new version of syslinux based on the current syslinux
git state.  This allows dropping 12 of the patches of our patch queue,
leaving only few of which I have forwarded most to upstream :) .  While
I would prefer upstream releasing a new version or pre-release, I think
that having such a huge patch queue is worse than packaging syslinux
from its git repository directly.  I've experimented quite a bit with
this version and have not encountered any problems so far.

Apart from updating to a new version, the only notable change is that I
added upstream's diagnostic utilities and special purpose MBRs (which
are needed in a few special cases) to the package.  This should give us
more options when dealing with bug reports.  The files only have
negligible size so I decided against introducing a new binary package
for them.

I hope that this update also fixes the unreproducible builds on i386
reported by the reproducible builds project.  At least the instances
where "ar" is passed object files in a non-deterministic order that I
found in the build logs should now be deterministic.


I do not want to upload a new version of syslinux to unstable until the
next stretch point release:  I want to keep the codebase in testing
similar to the stretch-pu so we get more testing of that version.

I've chosen 6.04~git… as a version number, since upstream has already
increased the version number to 6.04.  The version number allows me to
update to 6.04~preN if upstream publishes another pre-release (without
having to change the epoch).

The version for experimental is available in the git repository from the
debian/experimental branch which I've just pushed:

Thank you
Lukas
