base-files 6.4ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

base-files (6.4ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Branding changes.
    - Add /etc/lsb-release file.
    - Add lsb-release-udeb package.
    - Record md5sums of unmodified /etc/profile versions so that we can
      upgrade it automatically.
    - Various bashrc extensions.
    - Do not install /usr/local dirs with staff group writeability, as there
      are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
    - Update the motd upgrade handling to know about /etc/motd.tail.
    - Add default /etc/networks file.
    - Added information about the docs web page.
    - Restore order line in /etc/host.conf with a comment.
    - Ship /root mode 700 by default.
  * Dropped changes:
    - drop versioned dependency on libpam-modules, satisfied in all versions
      since hardy (and earlier)
    - remove /var/lock and /var/run: this is handled differently in Debian,
      no reason to diverge
    - fixing up permissions of files copied by ubiquity: transition completed
      in lucid.
    - debian/postinst.in: replace references to /var/run with /run: /run is
      still a draft standard for the time being and should only be used for
      those parts of the system that were being placed *other* than in
      /var/run for various reasons (e.g., /dev/.udev, /lib/init/rw).
      /var/run must continue to exist and be functional, and initscripts
      guarantees a smooth transition from /var/run to /run once we are ready
      to start doing away with /var/run (once the FHS officially ratifies
      /run as its replacement), so there's no reason to diverge from Debian
      here.
