Agreed. I should add that there are bugs in KDEsu (1), which hamper
the use of adept-updater etc.

Of 5 computers upgraded at home and at work, two were left in a
completely unusable state (one recovered so far), the third is
affected by this memory-bug (2). The fourth and fifth have been
running gutsy for a long time and only required some manual
downloading and installing of .deb files for udev & volumeid, because
this wasn't handled automatically. This was deemed "not a bug" because
I "should have use adept or the upgrade manager", which was obviously
not possble because of bugs (1) and (2).

All in all, I'm NOT impressed: 0 out of 5 upgrades successful. For
now, I recommend against upgrading.

Therefore, creating the patch is very important and I hope it works
out, but for now I'm too busy fixing my unbootable machine to try it.
