Once the packages are in backports, I can file an RT request and have
them installed appropriately.  We only care about the latest release and
the most recent LTS, so I don't expect we need to worry about
backporting to anywhere other than hardy.

I'm not sure why you need the packages in the PPA though?

I don't know anything about EC2 images; if they don't do an "apt-get
upgrade" before running then yes, I guess they will need fixing.

I will also file an RT for this; Lamont can sort that out I guess.

Leave it to me! :)

When do you expect the packages to show up in hardy-backports?

Thanks for working on this!
