Yep, removed them all because I couldn't figured out who was still
interested anymore... :)

Okay, seen that.

No, or to be more clear: I didn't check yet. I'm still running lenny
systems with bacula. Considering #606262, I'm not going to upgrade
before I tested that and possibly even worked on a lenny-update to fix
that.

Okay, I'm in contact with him. Seems, I'm the only one who's commited
anything yet. As soon as I have a git history that doesn't need rebasing
anymore, I'll push it to alioth. Then I hope you're alright with my
changes and we can go on from there...
