[Bug 1155441] [NEW] merge from upstream broke ubuntu colors

[Dustin Kirkland]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu has been carrying a patch for a while that enabled Ubuntu to
change some of the newt color palette selections, on a distro-wide
basis.

This patch was submitted upstream, however, upstream newt committed a completely different version of this patch.  See:
 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689903

The upstream patch does indeed enable custom color palettes, but the
format of the palette configuration is completely different.

Since the new upstream code has been merged into Raring, the
/etc/newt/palette.ubuntu configuration file needs to be updated to:

root=,magenta
checkbox=,magenta
entry=,magenta
label=magenta,
actlistbox=,magenta
helpline=,magenta
roottext=,magenta
emptyscale=magenta
disabledentry=magenta,
