[Bug 432669] [NEW] Please update to 0.5.3

[Jeremy Yoder]

Public bug reported:

I've created a bzr branch for lcdproc 0.5.3 here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jyoder/+junk/lcdproc

I would like a FeatureFreeze exception to get this into Karmic.  It supports several new drivers, and fixes many bugs.  It compiles/links/upgrades just fine in my testing.  I'm waiting for the build machines to finish with it in my PPA here:
