All three patches are uploaded to Intrepid now.  Also, the dexconf
change looked safe for SRU so I've gone ahead and uploaded that to
hardy-proposed.  For the other two, please test them in intrepid and let
me know in a week or two if they work properly, and I'll upload them to
hardy-proposed as well.

For all three cases, if you desire to have them available in
hardy-updates, please file the SRU's for them.  Typically, the SRU team
likes to see a few weeks' testing (including a couple weeks in
hardy-proposed) before they enter hardy-updates.

Thanks,
Bryce
