Title:
  [FFe] Upload new Zentyal packages (was Precise will ship totally
  broken ebox packages)

Status in “ebox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Rationale for FFe:

  Zentyal is an open source small business server that provides a
  graphical configuration interface for many Ubuntu services (squid,
  dansguardian, firewall, qos, openvpn, dhcp, dns, samba, cups, etc.)
  and integration between them.

  These packages are a *rename* of the existing ebox packages along with
  a *new upstream release* fixing known issues in current ebox packages
  on precise.

  Package builds: Yes (see https://launchpad.net/~jacalvo/+archive/zentyal-precise/)
  Package installs: Yes, upgrade from current ebox packages has been successfully tested.
  Reviewers: myself and jacalvo (from zentyal team), james-page, huats and client-fewbar (from ubuntu).
  All packages have been reviewed by multiple devs, are lintian clean, install and upgrade, all feedback on this bug reports has been addressed.

  James willing to sponsor the upload once FFe is approved an Archive
  admin confirms:

  a) use of native package format - this still seems to be making some dev's uncomfortable
  b) this is basically a rename of the old ebox packages

  Original Bug Report:

  Current ebox-* packages are based on the 2.0 version, which is more
  than one year old and doesn't work on oneiric and later because slapd
  changes.

  New zentyal-* packages are intended to replace existing ebox-* ones in
  Universe (eBox Platform was renamed to Zentyal time ago).

  We wouldn't like to see how Precise is shipped with broken Zentyal
  packages when we have made the effort to prepare new ones, see:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  server/2012-January/006062.html

  Please, sponsor the upload of the new Zentyal packages available on
  https://launchpad.net/~jacalvo/+archive/zentyal-precise/ and delete
  ebox-* ones.
