I'm running 12.04 although I upgraded an in-place install so I'm not sure if that is sufficient for testing. I do show that the package appears to be the same as it is from the opensuse repos:

root@mcp:/var/log# dpkg-query -s holland
Package: holland
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 880
Maintainer: Andrew Garner <andrew.garner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Architecture: all
Version: 1.0.6-2
Depends: python (>= 2.3), python-support (>= 0.90.0), python-pkg-resources (>= 0.6b3-1~)

Description: A pluggable backup utility
 A pluggable backup framework which focuses on, but is not limited to, highly
 configurable database backups.
 .
 Holland Mythos
 .
 The group came up with the name Holland in allusion to the fictional story of
 Hans Brinker, a dutch boy who saved Holland by sticking his thumb in a leaking
 dike hole overnight.
 .
 The Holland Skunk Works Dev Team represent the little boy, stopping the
 inevitable flood.
 .
 The ocean represents our customers, and the rising tide of MySQL backup needs
 at Rackspace.
 .
 The dike represents Rackspace.




Re-reading the Mythos gave me a good chuckle. Anyways backups have been running without issue, both when run manually and via cron. So all appears to be in good shape by my tests (which, again, may not be fully legitimate).
