Please move some udebs to testing for me



I'm going away for a conference now for a few days, and it would be
good if some udebs could be pushed into testing in the meantime, so I
(and some other people I asked) can do an installation of testing when
I come back.  All of these have been well-tested and should definitely
be part of rc1.


I'm grouping udebs which have to move in together:

        lvmcfg 0.30
        partman-lvm 15
        partconf 0.30

This adds _much_ better LVM supports.  It fixes many bugs from beta4,
fixes the broken LVM support under 2.6 and moves to LVM2.  I've
thoroughly tested these modules, as have some other people.  (Note,
the new lvm2-udeb is not needed, although it won't hurt.  The new
partman is not needed either.)  [Note that CD images will have to
include lvm2-udeb and lvm2 rather than lvm10-udeb and lvm10.]

        partman-ext2r0 0.02

This adds support for the ext2 revision 0 file system which is required
on some machines to boot.  Without this package, MIPS based Cobalt
machines don't work.  With this package, I have had 100% successful
installs on Cobalt.  This package is only available on arm/netwinder
and mipel/cobalt, so shouldn't break anything.  I've tested it on both
platforms, and I think I tested all code paths.  A user also tested it
and it works (#248047).

        partman-md 9
        mdcfg 0.18

partman-md is currently missing from testing which means that mdcfg in
testing is not actually callable... also, mdcfg 0.18 has one important
(tested) change.  This is needed to have Software RAID for rc1 which
lot's of people want.
