I'll have fixed this before I leave tonight. Looks like a number of
libertas patches were applied to stable but not testing.

These are just awaiting new sugar packages and joyride builds

Not sure how high to prioritise this.

My changes from the last 2 weeks are now in joyride, leaving us 2mb over
target.
I slimmed down 2 more packages today (pam and xorg-x11-utils) which
should bring us to the target.

We also need to get these package forks into Fedora. I filed a load of
RH bugzilla bugs about them today. Hopefully Dennis can find time to
give them a quick glance, then I can find another Fedora dev to do the
merging and committing.

I have got TamTam working but audio performance is bad - stuttering etc.
Something (one of the ALSA components?) has regressed quite majorly
since F7.
