For the SRU:

* Impact of bug: This bug will prevent common usage of the multiprocessing module in Python 2.7 on Maverick.
* Fix: The bug was addressed in the current version of Ubuntu with a no-change rebuild. Since the original problem was caused by kernel configuration on the buildd's, and (as verified by PPA build) this has been rectified, a simple rebuild is all that's needed
* I'll attach a patch momentarily. It is only a debian/changelog entry.
* TEST CASE: see above or: $ python2.7 -c 'from _multiprocessing import SemLock'
* I don't see much chance for regression. Code which relies on multiprocessing in Python 2.7 can't currently run on Maverick. This rebuild will only re-enable standard Python functionality.
