Dear Maintainer,

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

  * d/p/format-security-error.patch: Fix format-security error by using fputs
    instead of fprintf.
  * d/p/fix-make-install.patch: Fix issues with make install by using DESTDIR
    and adjusting install arguments.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan
