[Bug 444005] Re: Updates for Transmission 1.75

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

build log for the linked branch

** Summary changed:

- --auth argument passed to transmission-daemon is redundant
+ Updates for Transmission 1.75

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: transmission
  
  Currently in /etc/default/transmission-daemon we pass --auth argument to
  transmission-daemon. It is redundant as /etc/transmission-
  default/settings.json already contain rpc-authentication-required option
  set to 1/true.
  
  Because of that users can't disable authentication for transmission
  webui even if they change it in settings.json - also because of the way
  transmission-daemon writes configuration their change will be most
  likely overwritten when they restart daemon.
  
  There shouldn't be a problem of leaving users with insecure daemon as
  default setting is to require authentication.
+ 
+ Also as 1.76 won't be released before 9.10 release I'd like to get few
+ more fixes backported to 1.75.. Linked branch contain 3 patches
+ backported from svn trunk - two of them are for crashes reported on
+ launchpad, the 3rd one is for potential data loss.
