pia-vpn-installer-helper (26.09.01) mx; urgency=medium

  * rename from piavpn-downloader-installer, no Replaces/Breaks (avoids
    triggering the old package's own uninstaller)
  * replace broken pkexec/askpass de-escalation with a "PIA VPN Installer"
    menu entry that runs in the user's own session, self-removes on success
  * drop install_piavpn.sh and ssh-askpass-gnome, no longer needed
  * drop debian/postinst and debian/prerm entirely
  * keep dual-init completion (register the init not currently booted),
    naming both inits explicitly in its status messages
  * verify the downloaded installer's SHA-256 against PIA's published
    checksum before running it; abort if missing or mismatched
  * cache the verified installer in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (cleared on
    logout/reboot) to skip re-downloading on a retry
  * wait for the daemon to actually stop, and unmount its net_cls cgroup
    once empty, before calling PIA's own uninstaller - works around 
    timing/cgroup-busy bugs in its bundled pia-uninstall.sh
  * on sysvinit, check the daemon via start-stop-daemon --status directly
    - piavpn's own init script's status action never returns a real exit
    code
  * kill any running pia-client process before stopping the daemon on
    uninstall - it can hold the cgroup open even after the daemon stops
  * remove sysvinit rc.d symlinks via update-rc.d remove, run before
    deleting /etc/init.d/piavpn
  * pre-create the piavpn/piahnsd groups as system groups before running
    PIA's own installer, so they don't land in the regular user GID range
  * on install, remove the "PIA VPN Installer" shortcut for every real
    account, not just whoever completed the step
  * on uninstall, remove per-user Desktop/menu-editor/autostart copies of
    both the installer shortcut and PIA's own real app entry
  * warn upfront if this looks like a pure Wayland session with no X11
    layer detected
