Verified with new client package builds, and the server already has some errors in the new table.

Hello Kevin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted landscape-client into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
