I'm hoping we can just slide this in before FeatureFreeze. The current maverick
version is 1.6, I believe upgrading to the latest stable update on the same
release series, 1.6.2, would be a good thing. Also, whilst I've not personally
experienced it, bug #586907 sounds like something fairly serious to those who
are affected.

Pbuilder test builds and works OK.
