Changelog entries since current lucid version 0.9.1+r873-1:
flashrom (0.9.1+r946-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release.
+ Urgency high, as it fixes multiple important bugs, including such bugs
which can potentially "brick" a user's mainboard. Details at
http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-March/002507.html.
+ This build should have a non-truncated manpage (Closes: #566217).
* Standards-Version: 3.8.4 (no changes required).
