Awesome! Thanks for your work on that.

I tested your current PPA. At first the upgrade failed, because
packagekit-backend-apt conflicts file-wise with the old 0.2
packagekit, so some Conlicts/Replaces: are in order.

After that was fixed, and I killed the old daemons, I played around
with pkcon, and ran jockey trunk's test suite. Both worked fine.

Personally I'd love to see this in intrepid, it's so much more
complete, and pkcon sucks much less now (for example,
"pkcon install pmount" works now, whereas earlier versions just took a
package ID).

Martin
