[Bug 1190510] [NEW] Update raring, quantal, precise to landscape-client 13.07.3

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

Landscape Client 13.07.1 has been released. We would like to get these
changes into raring, quantal, precise and lucid.

As far as released version of Ubuntu are concerned, the required pieces
of information for the needed SRU follow (as laid out in the "Procedure"
section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates).

=== Statement explaining the impact ===

This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to
make sure all of our supported customers (even those on raring, quantal,
precise and lucid) have access to these improvements. The notable ones
are:

1) New annotations exchange mechanism allows clients to send any key-value data to the landscape server (#1123932)
2) Network devices now report their maximum theoretical speeds, and duplex status to landscape-server (#1126330, #1130130)
3) Landscape.client is now HA aware when HA is implemented using juju charms (#1122508)
4) The landscape client will now trigger a reboot if server sends a reboot-required message. (#1133005)
5) Big AMP code cleanup and refactoring in order to improve testing, improve performance and ease future maintainability (#1165047, #1169102, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669, #1170669)
6) Added logic to detect cloned (virtual) computers (#1161856)
7) The landscape-client and landscape-common packages do not use or depend on dbus code anymore, and some legacy plugins using dbus were removed. (#1175553, #1180691)
8) The ceph manager plugin is now a monitor plugin and thus does not require root privileges anymore. (#1186973)

Some packaging-only changes are as follows:
9) Removed legacy upgrader code from postinst since support for it was dropped.
10) French translation patches were removed since the changes were merged upstream.
11) The /etc/dbus-1/system.d/landscape.conf file was moved from the landscape-client package to the landscape-client-ui package. A "Replaces" rule was therefore added to the landscape-client-ui package. No "Breaks" rule was added since the -ui package requires the exact same version of the -client package, avoiding the case described in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f53
12) dependencies on Dbus and hal/udev (python-dbus and gudev) are dropped from the landscape-client and landscape-common packages, since the client code does not use dbus at all anymore. The landscape-client-ui package however still does.

For more details see the aforementioned bugs (all mentioned in the
debian/changelog of the proposed packages).
