 debian-cd (3.1.26-buster) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
-
+  [ Steve McIntyre ]
   * Backports of fixes from debian-cd in unstable
     + Keep grub resolution in EFI boot, to avoid tiny fonts (closes: #935546).
     + Fix up ordering in imagesums
     + Add a "with firmware" text to the DISKINFO string when appropriate
     + Remove lilo-installer and elilo-installer for all arches
+    + tools/update_popcon: cope with lower-case HTTP headers too; Debian
+      just enabled http2 so this broke
