I'm concentrating on the pg_wrapper C programming whenever I get the
chance.  Once I've done that, I will need to get the three versions of
PostgreSQL packages (7.2.1, 7.3.4 and 7.4) converted to use the
versioned paths and the necessary changes will need to be made to
upstream programs as described in the spec (which I have just upgraded
from a proposal to a description).

Are there any parts of those operations that you would like to take on? 
(I will upload the packages to cvs today).

I also need people to take a very close look at the specification and
think of everything that can go wrong, and everything that is just not
going to work.

I suppose we should be more intelligent about that, and not try to do
anything if we cannot connect to template1.

This is a preinst failure, but I believe it may be fixed.

Should this be transferred to dpkg as a problem with start-stop-daemon?
I can't see what we can do about it.

I just fixed that one.

They should all be tagged woody as well.  They have been fixed already
and we will close them when sarge is released.
