(I have included the last two versions as the current version in Jaunty
is 0.5 - an inclusion request was made for 0.6, but not actioned.)

The package has been verified as building against Jaunty as can be seen
in our PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev/+archive/ppa

The main reason for this exception request is that the latest version
includes additional contextual information and the distribution of the
suspend_test script as required by the kernel team. Other reasons are
the updating of the packaging for Jaunty & Python 2.6, the new local
report which will aid testers, and general bugfixes and improvements.
