Description:
This update for calamares fixes the following issues:

"xdg-su -c calamares" in openSUSE Leap 15.
Update to Calamares 3.2.15:

shorthand to force only that entry in the list.

configuration key to generate urandom pool data.
- "unpackfs" now supports a special "sourcefs" value of file for copying
single files (optionally with renaming) or directory trees to the target
system.
- "unpackfs" now support an "exclude" and "excludeFile" setting for
excluding particular files or patters from unpacking.

This has been deprecated since Calamares 3.2.8 and is now removed.

progress (left-hand column).
- "displaymanager" module now recognizes KDE Plasma 5.17.
- "displaymanager" module now can handle Wayland sessions and can detect
sessions from their .desktop files.
