Request for package sync between lenny-test and lenny



Hi there,

in preparation of an test release I would like to request to sync the
packages from lenny-test to lenny.

According to lenny_needs_love.html the following packages need to be
accepted to our lenny:
 - consolekit, hal:
   Fixing regressions in Lenny compared to our Etch (Terra) release.
   Consolekit is fixed to be a real replacement for libpam-foreground in
   the way that it only creates TAG files for users logged in locally.
   The HAL package sets a umask mount option for *fat and similar
   filesystems. This fixes a security regression, because remote users
   would be able to read filesystems mounted by the local user of a
   terminal server.

This packages would need to be updated in our lenny:
 - debian-edu-config:
   - Fixes Samba logins by adding sambaPwdLastSet attribute to users
     added to LDAP by LWAT (modifies LWAT config option).
   - Restrict 'DeviceAdded' and 'PropertyModified' messages send by HAL.
     This prevents popup messages to show up on thin clients when a
     removable media, like a usb stick, is inserted into the ltsp server
     (the remote user can not mount it anyway).
   - Fixes thin client booting by correcting DHCP filename option.
 
 - debian-edu:
   - Update Java recommends to Lenny's openjdk.
   - Avoids fam to avoid problems with fam and nfs.
   - Allows tftpd-hpa to be installed instead of atftpd.

 - debian-edu-doc:
   - Documentation is always best when up to date.

 - debian-edu-install:
   - Precedes tftpd-hpa's directory.
   - Precedes hddtemp daemon to not start on boot.

 - edu-ltsp-client-builder:
   - Fix count of ltsp-build-client runs.
   - Does not send errors to fd 1 as debconf (from d-i) listens there.
 
 - sitesummary:
   - Fix init.d script to depend on $syslog as sitesummary may use
     syslog.
   - Updates translations.

Some builds for amd64 and powerpc are missing. I suggest to wait on them
to arrive before syncing lenny-test and lenny.

If the buildds have problems I could provide binary uploads for
consolekit and debian-edu for amd64, ...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Daniel
