Uploading linux (3.2.39-1)



Now that d-i rc1 is out, it's time to update the kernel in unstable.

There are a huge number of pending fixes from 3.2.y (including security
issues and the Samsung laptop brick bug), lots of new hardware support
(particularly the DRM update), and udeb updates for armhf and for HID
drivers.  The curent changelog entry is below.

I expect to release 3.2.39 on Tuesday, having started the review cycle
this evening.  This should include fixes for CVE-2013-0216,
CVE-2013-0217, CVE-2013-0228 and CVE-2013-0871.

Would it be OK to upload a package based on that shortly after?  Are
there any other urgent fixes?

Ben.
