pitti, 2011-02-25: Moving to beta-1 (in blueprint milestone), too late for a3. This will most likely be moved to the o cycle.

pitti, 2011-03-22: Moving LP related work items to final, as they aren't bound by Ubuntu freezes

didrocks, 2011-02-25: postponing the two optional work items in dh_python and postfix dependency, it's either an opportunity for anyone wanting to do it otherwise, can wait next cycle
