update-manager (1:0.74) gutsy; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - ensure that users with the "lowlatency" kernel get
      transitioned correctly to a new kernel (LP: #129458)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeControler.py:
    - work around kde being too clever in tempdirs (LP: #139319)
  * po/POTFILES.in:
    - add missing files (LP: #141033)
