* SECURITY UPDATE: unauthenticated software installations.
  - debian/postinst.in: A bug in the build process for the Dell Latitude
    2110 factory pre-installed OEM images caused a temporary apt
    configuration file to be left in the installed system. This disabled
    apt's enforcement of authenticated packages. Remove the file on
    upgrades if it matches the factory version. (LP: #610647)
  - CVE-2010-0834

Prepare for Karmic release: etc/{lsb-release,issue,issue.net}.

etc/00-header, debian/directory-list, debian/rules: pam_motd will
now dynamically build a MOTD by running all scripts in
/etc/update-motd.d and concatenating the output; seed that MOTD
with the standard header, LP: #399071

* etc/legal.sh: dropped, as the display of /etc/legal is now
  handled by update-motd
* etc/legal: keep this text here, though, as this seems to be
  the most appropriate, maintainable place for it

etc/legal.sh: per feedback from pitti, the flag was moved to
~/.cache/motd/legal-displayed

etc/motd, etc/legal.sh, debian/rules, share/motd.md5sums: pursuant to
consultation with Canonical's Legal Department, it is sufficient
to display the warranty disclaimer only once per user; move this
text out of the stock /etc/motd, and into an /etc/profile.d/legal.sh
script; display the text if a certain flag is not detected and touch
the flag file

Add "Parent: Debian" to /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu, which will be useful
with the dpkg-vendor program in dpkg 1.15.1.

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Branding changes.
  - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
  - Add lsb-release-udeb package.
  - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
    upgrade it automatically.
  - Various bashrc extensions.
  - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment.
  - Add default /etc/networks file.
  - Implement LSB-3.1, 16.2 (/etc/profile.d).
  - Added information about the docs web page.
  - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail.
  - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there
    are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
  - Change permissions of kernels copied from the Live CD by Ubiquity
    1.9.4 thru 1.10.9.
  - Correct group ownership of files changed by Ubiquity 1.7.5 thru
    1.10.9.
  - Ship /root mode 700 by default.
* Add /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu, and point the default symlink to that.
