Bug description:
  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.
