OK, Oneiric is built in -development and is installable through -workstation.  

Some things that need testing:

- Please test tex-config 1.5.  After installing it, the following files should exist:
/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config/config.debathena-orig
/etc/texmf/xdvi/XDvi.debathena-orig
/etc/texmf/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg.debathena-orig
/etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps.debathena-orig
/etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex.debathena-orig

And then 1.5 should be able to be removed, cleanly.  tex-config 1.5 needs to go out to production _BEFORE_ workstation 1.6 (which removes tex-config) leaves -development.

- Please test the moira in -development, which has been sitting there forever.  In addition to normal testing, you should ensure that chsh.moira whines at you if you pick something not in /etc/shells.moira.

I have tested both of the above packages on two different machines.  So if the tests succeed for you, please move debathena-moira and tex-config to proposed.

Additional testing:

> Speaking of testing, some of the no-change rebuilds also brought in other unbuilt changes that need testing.  Here are the additional changes:
> - firefox-wrapper (10.0.10 -- force dialog buttons to be OK and Cancel)
> - cupsys-config (1.17.1 -- Stop build-dep'ing on cupsys-hack)
> - gdm-config (1.32 --  Support Debian's gdm3 package (Trac: #976), Fix typos caught by Lintian and do some other cleanup; 1.33 -- make the owl blink; 1.34 -- Put original Debathena logo at its original filename, Make debathena-branding handle missing images gracefully.)
> - kerberos-config (1.12 -- add win.mit.edu (Trac: #1086), NUMENOR.MIT.EDU is no more)


We should decide when to move oneiric out of development.  If it happens while I'm on vacation, please ensure that you have the time to put out any necessary fires.

-Jon
