Ubuntu

LTS Upgrades

Registered by Robbie Williamson

This one is obviously of high importance, we need to test and support
hardy to luicd upgrades. Some issues were discovered (and fixed)
already by kubuntu (they support hardy->karmic). We have done this
once already so at we know what needs to be done. It still requires
code, setup of HW and virtual machines and quite a bit of testing.

Also getting the data from
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors-rss exported as a
static file somewhere on archive.u.c so that u-m can fetch a update
of it during the upgrade would be nice (not strictly needed for lts,
but could fall under the same spec).
