util-linux for sarge



Please consider util-linux 2.12p-4 for Sarge.  Relevant changelog chunk
below.

Cons:
  - it's a change

Pros:
  - Fixes for a number of bugs.  2.12j through 2.12p were the result of
    a bunch of activity between upstream and myself.
  - 2.12p-1 has been in sid since December, and -2 through -4 change
    next to nothing (yes, "next to nothing" includes that security vul
    compliments of libblkid1 fixed in -4.)
  - 2.12-10 (currently in sarge) represents only minor tweaks since the
    previous significant work back in Feb 2004.
  - 2.12p-4 uses dpatch instead of a large monolithic .diff.gz, making
    it much easier to maintain down the road.
