  * Cherry-pick upstream bugfix:
    - cgroups: fix armhf builds

  * Cherry-pick upstream bugfix:
    - cgfsng: fix cgroup attach cgroup creation

  * New upstream bugfix release (4.0.4):
    - Support for new Linux clone flags (clone into cgroup)
    - Support for new Linux VFS system calls
    - Internal symbols are now properly hidden from external consumers
  * New upstream bugfix release (4.0.3):
    - Improvement to cgroupv1/cgroupv2 handling
    - Various improvements and tests for lxc-usernsexec

Just like Ubuntu itself, upstream releases long term support releases,
e.g. 4.0, and then periodic point releases including all the accumulated
bugfixes.

Only the latest upstream release gets full support from the upstream
developers, everyone else is expected to first update to it before
receiving any kind of support.

This should qualify under the minor upstream bugfix release allowance of
the SRU policy, letting us SRU this without paperwork for every single
change included in this upstream release.

[Test case]
lxc has autopkgtests which will assert that the binaries built in -proposed are 
functional.
