Bug#991415: unblock: kdump-tools/1:1.6.8.4

[dann frazier <dannf@dannf.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package kdump-tools

[ Reason ]
Addresses two bugs:

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * Fix broken status log messages when dumping w/ FTP (Closes: #991412).

  [ dann frazier ]
  * Add /var/lib/kdump to debian/kdump-tools.dirs to avoid errors
    creating the initial set of boot file symlinks (Closes: #991175).

[ Impact ]
The first can have a significant impact to users who are trying to setup
FTP dumps because the output suggests the package is misconfigured even
when it isn't.

The second can cause a first boot service startup failure because the boot
file symlinking process assumes /var/lib/kdump already exists.

[ Tests ]
I did a manual FTP dump test to verify the correct messages, as well as
upgrade/remove/purge tests.

[ Risks ]
I consider both bug fixes to be trivial.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
