61. By James Westby on 2009-04-08

When editing files like /etc/login.defs re-use the separator text that
was taken from the file, rather than replacing it with something equivalent.
This avoids replacing tabs with spaces in the above file and so avoids
un-necessary conffile prompts. (LP: #316756)

60. By Martin Pitt on 2009-04-01

Add 08_rosetta_translations.patch: Add translations from Rosetta
(PolicyKit doesn't support gettext at runtime yet). (LP: #207677)
