Excellent, I will be getting involved. Right now I just have to try
get some uploads for bug fixes for Ubuntu, and catch up on some
upstream work. I'm also trying to debug a rather large patch for
NetworkManager 0.7 compatibility for Sugar 0.82 which isn't well
tested upstream yet - I see lenny has NM 0.6.x so we'll have to carry
that patch for now.

Then I'll dive into the 0.83 packaging in debian :)
