Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnu-smalltalk

GNU Smalltalk was not buildable on Lucid and was removed from the Lucid Repostory. I have had a look and thanks to the GNU Smalltalk upstream have created a patch that makes it buildable again.

The problem on my lucid installation was that all testcases failed to execute and that is due an issue with the tests/testsuite script and bash 4.0. Paolo provided me with the necessary sed script to make it work for that version.

I'm attaching the patch, but I also have an updated changelog entry and such for the debian package.
