Package sucessfully built in https://launchpad.net/~stefan-bader-
canonical/+archive/raring/+packages. Test built manually done on PPC.
Now need a sponsor to review and upload into Raring.

** Description changed:

  Sid's version of crash is at 6.0.6 and upstream is at 6.1.0. Ubuntu
  version should at least follow Sid's version
+ 
+ SRU Justification (for Quantal and Precise):
+ 
+ Impact: With the current crash utility in Quantal (and Precise) it is
+ impossible to look at dumps from recent kernels (3.5+). So Quantal
+ cannot be used to examine dumps created in Quantal and with the rolling
+ backport kernels we will have the same problem in Precise (12.04.2).
+ Beside that it should be possible to use the latest LTS to work on newer
+ dumps (IMO). Another feature of this latest release is the ability to
+ work on dumps of PV guests produced by Xen.
+ 
+ Fix: Instead of trying to pick individual patches it is much simpler to
+ push the the 6.1.0 release back into older releases. It was compiled and
+ tested in Precise at least while working on bug reports that involved
+ dumps and required a recent version of crash.
+ 
+ Testcase:
+ - Load and examine a dump produced from a 3.5+ kernel
+ - Load and examine a dump of a PV Xen guest.
