[needs-packaging] checkbox

[Marc Tardif]

Checkbox is a rename of the hwtest package. The motivation for this change is that hwtest has grown to test more than just hardware but also software. So, since the name implied hardware, it was time for a rename.

Notes: The code has only changed to account for the new name.

I had a look at it. Here are my comments:

 * debian/changelog:

 You've renamed all of the entries from hwtest to checkbox. You should
 only rename when the rename actually happened (probably at
 0.1-0ubuntu13).

The package upgrade doesn't work. There seems to be an issue with the
hwtest.postrm script.

I have fixed the error with the postrm script in the trunk. However, this now produces the following warnings:

dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/usr/share/hwtest/registries': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/usr/share/hwtest/plugins': Directory not empty
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/hwtest.d': Directory not empty

What is the proper way of handling old configuration files when creating a transitional package?

Release 0.2-ubuntu4 should be ready for review:

Checkbox has been released a while ago in Jaunty, so I'm closing this bug as fixed released.
