Binary package hint: ebox

Current eBox packages in Intrepid, both base framework  and modules,
which have been automatically taken from Hardy, won't work. There have
been a few changes in  Intrepid that make necessary to upload a new
version.

Amongst these changes:

 - The way the authentication is managed, libapache-authcookie-perl
doesn't exist anymore in Intrepid. However, the new eBox package
(0.12.x) doesn't need it as it uses its own authentication code based in
that library. Current version 0.11.99 still depends on it.

- The openLDAP configuration backend has changed. The new upstream
version solves this by using this new backend when initialasing slapd.
However, the current version in Intrepid uses the old backend so it
won't work at all.

- Dansguardian, the new version shipped with Intrepid has a few changes
in its configuration files. Again, current version in Intrepid won't
work but new upstream version will.

These new packages for Intrepid can be found in [0]:

>From my point of view there are two options:

- Ask for a FF Exception  after reviewing the packages. Although I don't know if we are too late in the release process.
- Remove the eBox packages from the archive, as the current ones are totally broken due to the new changes.

The latter option is a pity as we have been telling users again and
again to use eBox. But, well, that's life.
