Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

after upgrading to karmic, update-manager offered to remove obsolete packages.

due to removal of sun-java5 and tomcat5.5 from the archive (i assume), these 2 packages were included in the obsolete list, but required for my projects (source & bytecode incompatible w/ java6, and untested under tomcat6). usually would like to remove obsolete packages, but did not want to remove these....

    - convert PASS value from 1 to 0 for ntfs entries in
      /etc/fstab (LP: #441242) and add tests for it
    - put 386 to generic transition code here and decouple from
      the kernel selection
    - inhibit gnome-screensaver once the upgrade started
      to avoid X crash (LP: #439594)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
