ubiquity 1.1.0 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ubiquity (1.1.0) edgy; urgency=low

  * Use try/finally in install.py to ensure that PROGRESS STOP is always
    called; ignore errors from PROGRESS STOP (e.g. because debconf has gone
    away due to a previous error).
  * Support /UNIONFS (Knoppix) as well as /rofs as the read-only filesystem
    source.
  * Don't require entering a full name (see
    http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/os-install-experiences-part-4-ubuntu).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Return None from location_from_point if point is None (thanks to Chris
      Moore for the idea; closes: Malone #48885).
  * KDE frontend:
    - Add slightly more paranoia in case getNearestCity returns None.
  * Don't show hw-detect/modprobe_error, and make it non-fatal (closes:
    Malone #48524).
  * Make it clear in the crash dialog that you should file a new bug, not
    attach your details to an existing bug.
  * Add passwd and adduser dependencies from user-setup.
  * Take a copy of the supplied choice map in set_keyboard_choices.
  * Save tracebacks from install.py and slurp them back into the traceback
    displayed if install.py exits non-zero.
  * Convert to new Python policy (python-central). Install Python
    modules/extensions to /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity rather than into the
    public module path.
  * Warn in the partitioner if you try to use XFS for /boot (closes: Malone
    #47848).
  * Warn in the partitioner if system filesystems are not reformatted
    (closes: Malone #47046).
  * Remove /usr/bin/espresso compatibility symlink.
  * Use os._exit() rather than sys.exit() in the apt install progress child
    process after forking, fixing a lot of strange "PROGRESS STOP" messages
    in /var/log/installer/syslog and bizarre debconf exceptions. See also
    Malone #53298.
  * Use exceptions to communicate all failures in install.py, so that we get
    more useful tracebacks.

  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.11ubuntu1,
    base-installer 1.63ubuntu2, choose-mirror 2.04ubuntu1, clock-setup
    0.10ubuntu1, debian-installer-utils 1.32ubuntu1, grub-installer
    1.17ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.38ubuntu1, kbd-chooser 1.29ubuntu1,
    localechooser 1.20ubuntu3, partconf 1.16, partman-auto 54ubuntu1,
    partman-base 90ubuntu1, partman-basicfilesystems 47ubuntu1,
    partman-basicmethods 30, partman-ext3 41, partman-jfs 17,
    partman-newworld 13, partman-palo 4, partman-partitioning 40ubuntu1,
    partman-reiserfs 31, partman-target 42ubuntu1, partman-xfs 29,
    silo-installer 1.04ubuntu1, tzsetup 1:0.10ubuntu1, user-setup
    1.2ubuntu2, yaboot-installer 1.1.7ubuntu1.
  * Handle move of prebaseconfig scripts to (variously) post-base-installer
    or finish-install.
  * Install search-path from debian-installer-utils; partman-auto needs it
    now.
