Bug description:
  This is an SRU request for landscape-client to be updated in Lucid,
  Natty and Oneiric. Linked to this bug are branches for each release,
  branched off lp:ubuntu/release-updates/package or
  lp:ubuntu/release/package when there was no previous update.

  Landscape has an SRU exception:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Landscape

  Major changes:
   * using APT instead of Smart (http://smartpm.org) for package activities
   * GUI for client configuration: only built for precise, but the code is shipped here too because it's very convenient to build the packages for all supported distros from the same source
   * New script attachment handling, to ease the load on the server.
   * New way of gathering hardware information using lshw instead of hal
   * Switch smart package locks for dpkg package holds, since we no longer use Smart

  All changes have unit tests, and they pass.

  This is the additional SRU testing report (also attached as a PDF to
  this bug for those who can't see the link):

  Detailed changelog:

    [ David Britton ]
    * Warn on unicode entry into settings UI (LP: #956612).
    * Sanitise hostname field in settings UI (LP: #954507).
    * Make it clear that the Landscape service is commercial (LP: #965850)
    * Further internationalize the settings UI (LP: #962899)
    * Depend on python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets instead of python-aptdaemon and
      replace dependency on python-gobject by python-gi (LP: #961894)
    * Add i18n to the landscape-client-ui-install script. (LP: #961891)

    [ Andreas Hasenack ]
    * Fix default landscape hostname in glib schema.
    * dpkg test improvements to fix intermittent failures.
    * If ssl_public_key is supplied, use it also when fetching script
      attachments. This fixes the case of using script execution with
      attachments when the Landscape server is using a custom CA,
      most common in LDS deployments. (LP: #959846)
    * Make sure we have a PATH variable set before doing package
      activities, and also set it in the initscript for good measure. If
      the client was configured and restarted by the new UI configuration
      tool, PATH wasn't set, triggering an error in dpkg. (LP: #961190)
    * Make landscape-client-ui depend on landscape-client-ui-install, so
      that we get an entry in the system settings if just
      landscape-client-ui is installed. The actual entry comes from
      landscape-client-ui-install.
    * Optimization: when adding binaries, don't reload every repo, only the one
      containing the binaries. (LP: #954822)
    * Handle the case where the user clicks twice inadvertently on the
      Landscape icon in system settings and don't start a second copy of
      itself. (LP: #960211)
    * Change package management features to use APT instead of Smart (LP: #856244,
      #861707, #859615, #861345, #863239, #863259, #865270, #865272, #865285,

      #948142, #953136, #953906, #956590).
    * Add a GTK interface to configure the client (LP: #911279, #911666, #912163,
      #911665, #916300, #931937, #931937, #943622, #945025, #911279, #944652,

    * Add the ability to auto discover the server location on local deployment
      (LP: #917422, #927620, #917422, #928585, #929087, #932325, #948564)
    * Allow the client to accept arbitrary environment variables from the
      server for script execution (LP: #954999).
    * Make landscape-config exit non-zero when registration fails and
      --ok-no-register is not passed (LP: #271759).
    * Check for the content of /sys/bus/xen/devices to report a machine as a Xen
      VM instead of just relying on the existence of /sys/bus/xen (LP: #921970).
    * Make sure cloud registration succeeds if there is no kernel specified in
      the meta-data service (LP: #920453).
    * Report private and public IP adresses from the metadata service at cloud
      registration time (LP: #918366).
    * Add support for reporting hardware information using lshw (LP: #899002,
      #943975, #955734).
    * Add support for the new attachment service in script execution
      (LP: #893040).
    * Adds a new message type, 'register-provisioned-machine', which is meant
      to register computers using an OTP (LP: #881405).
    * Add local cloning option for load testing (LP: #872830, #925924).
    * Add more variables to preseeding (LP: #863204, #867710).
    * Allow the configuration of the ping interval (LP: #397884).
    * Add fake package reporters for load testing purposes (LP: #821571,
      #821570).
    * Report a package reporter error to the server if no APT sources are
      configured, to trigger a package reporter alert (LP: #823769).
