Extension of PPU rights for printing and scanning: cpdb-libs, cpdb-backend-cups, cpdb-backend-file

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey Till,

The DMB members agreed that your request makes sense, the package have 
been added to your acl set now (for mantic since the packages were in 
universe for previous series for which you already have upload rights)

$ ./edit-acl -S mantic -p till-kamppeter -s cpdb-libs add
Added:
Archive Upload Rights for till-kamppeter: archive 'primary', source 
package 'cpdb-libs'

  ./edit-acl -S mantic -p till-kamppeter -s cpdb-backend-cups add
Added:
Archive Upload Rights for till-kamppeter: archive 'primary', source 
package 'cpdb-backend-cups'

$ ./edit-acl -S mantic -p till-kamppeter -s cpdb-backend-file add
Added:
Archive Upload Rights for till-kamppeter: archive 'primary', source 
package 'cpdb-backend-file'

Chees,
Sébastien
