Update Manager:
* Merge and review Debian SoC changes to Update Manager.
* Review mpt's proposed changes to Update Manager in light of Debian SoC changes.
Upgrade Experience:
* Share/extend installation slideshow.
* When changing settings (compiz, grub), be less interactive by proactively making changes on behalf of the user, and saving settings to files for later restoration by the user.
WORK ITEMS:
* add plugin module to update-notifier that can call external helpers
* add webkit based slideshow dialog plugin to update-notifier
* make sure the webkit stuff looks for localized files too
* integrate with meta-release code from update-manager
* ensure that the postponed time is honored
* add support for cdroms
* include release information/html on the alternate CD (lucid+1)
