Suggest SRU update to bird package to support OSPFv3

[Neil Wilson]

Binary package hint: bird

For some reason this package doesn't appear to have picked up the 1.2.0 release from Debian. Perhaps it just missed the cut off point and nobody cared.

However version 1.2.0 implements OSPFv3 support within the daemon and that is important in deployments of IPv6. Given that Lucid is a five year release, I think that support is vital.

I would suggest syncing to the 1.2.2 version currently Debian testing.

Neil, I would suggest to track my ppa:ondrej/bird, where you will always find latest upstream release. This PPA is semi-official. My team (CZ.NIC Labs) is upstream and I am official packager for upstream and Debian packages.
