pitti: Hi Martin, I submitted the backports bug 719815 the other day. Do you have time to think it over and (hopefully) triage it?

GunnarHj: I'm not in ~ubuntu-backporters
GunnarHj: we can't just backport the natty l-s package as it is, as this was switched to pygi
which doesn't yet work on lucid/maverick
gdm should work fine, though

pitti: I know, but Scott asked for an opinion.
pitti: The bransches don't include the pygi stuff.

bug updated
GunnarHj: ah, there are branches already? usually backports require that you can build and use the natty package unmodified
as custom modifications need to be kept in sync and thus require a much larger amount of maintenance

pitti: I realised that that wouldn't suffice in this case. Thanks for the bug comment.
