 Problem Description:
 
 This drakxtools update package fixes issues with the hardrake tool to
 make sure that USB keys are not auto-configured by the service at boot
 (#34568), and adds back the Run Config tool button in the harddrake
 interface (#34794).
 
 An issue where bootloader-config would use vmlinuz-desktop or
 initrd-desktop.img instead of vmlinuz or initrd.img was corrected
 (#35721).
 
 A crash in drakfont where it would crash on names with meta characters
 was also fixed (#36482).
 
 It also contains other fixes for the bootloader-config, drakclock,
 draksec, and localdrake tools.
