Comment 1 for bug 1022407

Hi! I strongly recomment you to not include PK 0.8.1 right now, as it won't work okay and really break stuff - but I would like to see 0.8.2 or 0.8.3 in Quantal and work on the Ubuntu packaging by myself if necessary/wanted/possible (I'm not a MOTU/Ubuntu developer at time). Including 0.8.x will very much depend on the state of our Aptcc backend at that time - right now it's maintainer is working on it and the backend is in a very good shape, but help is always needed. FYI, Fedora is shipping 0.8.x with it's next release too.
One of the issues will be that Ubuntu does not ship systemd or - even more important - systemd-logind, but at time we can work around that by disabling all features which make use of it. (In the long term this will become difficult, as ConsoleKit development has stopped and is unsupported)
Please stay in touch, then we can work something out :-)
(Btw. PK 0.8.2 will contain even more invasive changes (in order to make implementaing Software-Centers with PK easier), I blogged about them recently)
