Hi everybody! Just an update on the status of this.

I've been talking with Christophe (huats) and he has agreed to help
shoulder the load on the review. I'll take a second look once he has
gone over things.

We cannot gloss over the NEW process, as it is in place to prevent us
from redistributing code without licensing, and from distributing
malicious or obviously broken code. Thats not to say that we read every
line, but we do need to verify that proper documentation of licensing is
in place, and that the code is in fact the code you intend us to
package. Imagine what might happen if we accepted NEW uploads without
looking over them, how easy it would be to write a trojan for Ubuntu
users?

That said, since this is a NEW package that is really a rename of an old
one, I suspect whoever does the NEW review will be able to consider that
fact, so it should not be a painful process.

For the future, I would suggest that some Zentyal developers apply for
Per-Package-Upload rights to maintain Zentyal in Ubuntu. Its clear that
you all understand packaging, and this will allow you to keep the
packages in good shape for every Ubuntu release.
