Bug#613151: pu: package sobby/0.4.7-2+lenny1

Hi,

#613085 got reported yesterday, which is about data-loss on a simple
installation of Sobby due to the fact that it cannot write its session
serialization file as it's owned by root at that time.

I uploaded a fix to unstable (0.4.7-3), would the diff be acceptable?

Kind regards
Philipp Kern

Base version: sobby_0.4.7-2 from testing
Target version: sobby_0.4.7-3 from unstable

No hints in place.
