I've posted a message to ubuntu-devel-announce with full workaround
instructions, which you should be able to apply to your broken systems
given at most a Hardy desktop CD; in some circumstances you may be able
to do it without that.

This was, of course, treated as absolute top priority for the members of
the Ubuntu team involved in the cleanup process. I don't think it's
productive to point fingers, as there were various failings involved.
We're doing a full analysis of the incident and I expect that we'll make
some changes as a result.

Thanks,
