texlive-base (2007.dfsg.2-4ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/fix-installation-timebomb: fix the detection of
    5-year-old-source from error to a warning so that tetex-bin remains
    installable (LP: #384904).

Added Dell-mini project, since it uses a custom version of hardy in a separate repository from generic hardy. Given dell-mini-hardy is going to last for a while, this bug is significantly important.
