systemtap 1.7 for debian, preliminary packages available

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Preliminary/unofficial debian packaging for systemtap 1.7 is now
available. Since there are many changes I figured it might be a good
idea to wait some time for feedback and review before uploading to
unstable:

systemtap (1.7-1~try1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * New Upstream Release.
  * Drop patches that are obsolete or accepted upstream:
    dont-build-pdfdocs.diff dont-remove-scripts.diff
    examples-shebangs.diff grapher-libs.diff new-elfutils.diff
    no-make-distclean-for-man.diff stapex-docdir-path.diff
    use-pdflatex.diff vim-filetype-override.diff xmlto-test.diff
  * Add patches to improve documentation: manpage-paths1.diff
    manpage-syntax1.diff spelling-fixes1.diff spelling-fixes2.diff
  * Update standards-version to 3.9.2, no changes necessary
  * Add armhf to the architecture list (Closes: #645797)
  * Enable hardened build flags (Closes: #655882)
  * Set architecture of systemtap-sdt-dev to linux-any to avoid confusion
    on kfreebsd (Closes: #656383, #656477)
  * Add stapsys group which behaves like stapdev but does not permit the
    use of guru mode.
  * Remove references to "Linux 2.6" from package description and suggests fields
    since we support 3.x too.
