Changelog

syslinux (2:4.01+dfsg-3ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Unexport LDFLAGS in debian/rules in case it was passed by
    dpkg-buildflags (the LDFLAGS there is expected to be passed to gcc, not
    ld; thanks, Vladimir Ushakov).

    - Add include and menu include support.
    - Fix buffer overrun when loading kernel/initramfs.
    - Allow boot entry to start with label instead of menu_label.

    breaks will be used (Closes: #588678).

    call, useful when e.g. wanting to use --raid or --once.
