+libgksu (2.0.5-1ubuntu5.2) hardy-proposed; urgency=low
+
+  * dropped debian/patches/20_add_usleep.patch
+  * added debian/patches/20_better_usleep.patch:
+    - improve the patch to have a bigger timeout but also break early
+      once the process_name changes. this should hep in situations when
+      starting sudo is very slow (e.g. because the machine is under heavy
+      io load)
