[Bug 1496076] [NEW] Please backport ipmitool 1.8.15-1ubuntu1 (universe) from wily

[Breno Leitão]

Public bug reported:

Please backport ipmitool 1.8.15-1ubuntu1 (universe) from wily to trusty.

Reason for the backport:
========================
ipmitool has a feature do to firmware upgrade using USB and HPM(Hardware Platform Management) that is not trivial to port to version 1.8.13, so, I am asking to have ipmitool version 1.8.15 in trusty-backports and continue to have 1.8.13 in trusty archive. This is going to enable users to do HPM firmware upgrade when downloading ipmitool version from backports.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s wily -d trusty ipmitool

* trusty:
[x] Package builds without modification
[x] ipmitool-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[x] ipmitool installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of ipmitool. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new ipmitool. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new ipmitool installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
