Status in OpenObject Addons Modules: Fix Released

Bug description:
Looking at:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openerp-commiter/openobject-addons/trunk-extra-addons/annotate/3988/l10n_chart_uk/account_chart.xml

which I presume is the latest version of this.

As an example of the sort of breakage I'm on about, looking at the XML we see that Goodwill Amortisation is id="chart0012", and all the accounts to do with banking, from "Bank Current Account" to "Company Credit Card" (i.e. all the chart12?? accounts) have <field name="parent_id" ref="chart0012"/>, which is nonsense.

The Profit & Loss Account is set as <field name="type">other</field>, whereas it should presumably be type view, and one might think that Sales would have been one of it's children, but Sales has <field name="parent_id" ref="chart0040"/>, where chart0040 is "Furniture and Fixtures".

In case you're wondering, it seems that (as mentioned here:  http://openobject.com/forum/topic8610.html) l10n_chart_uk was copied from SQL-Ledger, which was already broken.

I get the impression that I'm not alone in having been fooled by the name of this module into thinking that it might be useful in the UK, with the result that yet another attempt to get OpenERP up and running was sabotaged -- please remove it, fix it, or rename it to something like l10n_chart_uk_experimental_nonsense.
