Please unblock package flashrom
This fixes quite a number of (upstream) issues which could potentially
brick a machine or at least make the BIOS flashing fail in various ways
on certain hardware.
Changelog below:
flashrom (0.9.2+r1141-2) unstable; urgency=high
* Drop alpha and netbsd-alpha from the arch list for now (builds fail).
+ Keeping "urgency=high" due to high-priority fixes in the last upload,
in order to allow those fixes to migrate to testing.
+ It's unclear how well alpha (if at all) is supported upstream at this
point. There's a compile-time #error in the upstream code breaking
the build intentionally on alpha right now.
Alpha support will be re-enabled as soon as this has been sorted out
upstream, but it may take quite a while.

flashrom (0.9.2+r1141-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release. Urgency high due to multiple critical bugfixes that
could potentially brick the PC (or worse: laptop) of users.
Other important fixes include:
+ Properly writing Atmel AT25 chips would fail on some SPI controllers.
+ Fix breakage with brick-potential on various non-x86 architectures.
+ Fix broken reads on Winbond W25x16, especially on some ICH SPI chipsets.
+ Fix write failure on 3COM NICs with parallel flash.
+ Fix "byte merge" related corruption on some VIA chipsets.
+ Fix some format string bugs.
+ Fix hard hang on some recent (e.g. QM57) Intel chipsets.
* Install new upstream udev rules file to allow users to use flashrom
without root permissions on some (USB-based) programmers.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (no changes required).
* debian/copyright: Updates.
