[SCM] Debian package checker branch, master, updated. 2.5.12-9-g049acbf

["Niels Thykier" <niels@thykier.net>]

The following commit has been merged in the master branch:
commit 049acbf7bfc57e5ca703885faac9cc82c5db965d
Author: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
Date:   Sat Apr 20 12:16:39 2013 +0200

    L::Util: Pass --reflink=auto to cp
    
    On file systems that support it (e.g. btrfs) this should make copy_dir
    faster by reducing the copying to just creating a new inode.
