The following changes were dropped:
gnome-control-center (1:3.4.3.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* 11_network_user_connections.patch: updated, treat WEP keys like WPA-PSK
secrets and store them in the keyring for user-owned connections.

gnome-control-center (1:3.4.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream stable release.
* 11_revert_printer_class.patch: revert, merged upstream.
* 03_network_null_unref.patch: patch from upstream git. Fix a critical
warning caused by g_object_unref (NULL).
* 04_network_crash_signals.patch: patch from upstream git. Correctly
disconnect signal handlers to avoid crashes.
* 11_network_user_connections.patch: new patch, similar to nm-applet
(also requires the changes in libnm-gtk). Set passwords as
agent-owned when they need to, to allow users without root
permissions to easily configure their connections.
+ CDMA and GSM connections are always user-owned.
+ WEP/WPA connections are system-owned if user has the permissions
(with NM’s config, that is netdev or sudo membership), user-owned
otherwise. The password is stored in the keyring for WPA, not for
WEP.
+ WiMax / Wired connections are always system-owned.
