Hi,

Thanks for the review.

The kernel change is to #774117.  For the hardening-wrapper, I have
traced the latest change to #772694.  However, it seems to just be
changes to an existing section that might (or might not) have carried
over from Wheezy.

 * I will await the security team before doing any changes.
