Free, this is a fantastic branch, thanks so much for working on it!

I'm curious about the debian/changelog situation. At the sprint we discussed a system of branches for managing the different changelogs (and version numbers) for each release. I notice that the changelog in this branch is now based on the jaunty one. Are you planning on implementing that system of branches? I'm just wondering where we'll go from now.

[1] Man, I didn't know you could break Depends onto multiple lines! that makes it a lot easier to read :-)

[2] I'm not sure why you did this dependency the way you did it:

+ update-motd | lsb-base (<< 3.2-14ubuntu2),

don't we always want lsb-base? If we have update-motd, won't that mean we won't get lsb-base? Maybe we should "Recommend" update-motd (which means it gets installed by default) and then in the postinst script deal with the case where update-motd isn't actually installed.

[3]
+ python-smartpm | smartpm-core (>= 1.1),

I think we should be able to get rid of the conditional here once we actually include smartpm 1.1 in our <= hardy repositories, right?

Thanks again!
