Please backport friendly-recovery from Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty"

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

Please backport friendly-recovery from Jaunty to Intrepid - new version has 2 important features:

1. recovery mode with networking via dhclient
2. support for grub reinstall

Also it would be nice if you backport newest friendly-recovery from Jaunty to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy) - I've installed Jaunty's (0.2.8.1) version to my 8.04 system, tested it and didn't find any problems :)

Here's full changelog since Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy:
