Bug#613761: gnome-control-center: build with security hardening enabled via hardening-wrapper

[Kees Cook]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/{control{,.in},rules}: enable PIE build for security hardening
    of font thumbnailer.

The goal is to make the font thumbnailer more resistant to potential attack
from 3rd party fonts that may contain intentionally malicious corruption, etc.

Thanks for considering the patch.

-Kees
