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.
