It would appear Dapper packages have been hacked.....<br>

The last thing Ubuntu needs is for people to install Dapper Flight 4<br>
and see something like this. Whether this is meant to be here or not,<br>
the image displays a low level of effort/security in Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
I suggest this be reverted to the original.<br>

Its basically a joke, but it gives the same impression to someone who's
installing Dapper for evaluation. Someone evaluating Dapper and FC5,
for example, might conclude that FC5 is developed by a more
professional community. This may or may not be the case, but its a
good idea to give as professional appearance as possible when battling
the unfortuanately overwhelming M$ market.<br>
