--- Comment #3 from M. Tompsett <mtompset at hotmail.com> ---
You may wish to look at bug 8489. I already patched the ubuntu files including
the various .packages and the ubuntu-pkg-check.sh script.

Download 3.6.7 and you will notice that the ubuntu_maverick.packages file had
been renamed already, and there are "other" files.

This way the ubuntu-pkg-check.sh script could use `lsb_release -r` to determine
which file to use:
- ubuntu.10.04.packages (from ubuntu.packages)
- ubuntu.10.10.packages (from ubuntu_maverick.packages)
- ubuntu.12.04.packages (tweaked from ubuntu.packages)
- ubuntu.packages (copy of ubuntu.12.04.packages, a 'default' for other
versions)

This is how I see ubuntu file updates related to *.packages moving forward:
When Ubuntu 12.10 is released, ubuntu.packages will be updated.
When Ubuntu 13.04 is released, ubuntu.packages will be updated.
When Ubuntu 13.10 is released, ubuntu.packages will be updated.
HOWEVER, when Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is released
- ubuntu.packages will be updated
- ubuntu.packages will be copied to ubuntu.14.04.packages
- ubuntu.10.* will be deleted

And thus, there should always be three ubuntu.*packages files existing:
- current LTS
- previous LTS
- ubuntu.packages reflecting the current non-LTS release.
The fact that ubuntu.10.10.packages file exists is due to not wanting to delete
files while trying to get my patches in under the wire (thanks for letting me
get the patches in, jcamins). 

Similarly, I personally think we should version number the INSTALL.Ubuntu
files, not use the names. The INSTALL.Ubuntu and related instructions still
need updating. I'll look at the attachments later.
