Err.. I object to that revision and would like to revert it. It's a big
changelog entry that is a misleading copy/paste of
1.6.9dfsg-1ubuntu0svn1 - those actions are now listed in the changelog
twice, but only happened once. This is confusing!

Also the commit message speaks of KWallet, when there is no
kwallet-related change in that commit, nor even any kwallet-related
change happening in the lucid branch at all.

There's no need to introduce a new changelog entry in the lucid branch
for a change touching only karmic/jaunty/hardy.

Any particular reason? I think the PPA should maintain consistency
across all distroseries it serves, whereever possible, and it's not
really that much more work to do 4 distroseries rather than just one.
