[Logcheck-devel] logcheck sarge status

[maks attems]

todd feel free to release current head next days.
(please review the logtail NEWS note, it's quite important for woody
upgrades).

but as it looks we have still some time to stabilize and enhance things
for sarge.
open stuff for sarge (please add your item that i omitted):

* merge most of the alfie rules for level workstation
  (still some concern on the dhcp, rested acked i think)

* enhance logcheck(8) manpage:
  - we spoke to trash docbook as logtail(8) has much nicer output
    alfie you proposed to do it ;)
  - example of usage
  - be more verbose, rephrase somehow related our "minor" bug #215640
    i've a small beginn for that, see below.
    
* add more rules ;-)
