Comment 11 for bug 706271

Looks good at first glance.

I realize you may have never worked with Bzr before, but would it be possible for you to apply these changes in a copy of the lp:synaptic branch and file a merge request? This way we could include your changes "upstream", and release a new version of synaptic to Ubuntu without carrying ubuntu-specific changes. This way it benefits all distributions. :)
