Update list of issues to fix.

   * debian-edu-artwork: background of gdm3 login screen is not the Debian Edu one. 
   * Usability issue: The default browser Iceweasel fail to show files with MIME types text/* (like for example diffs or source code) in the browser, and instead pop up a dialog only offering to save the file or pass it on to an external program (DebianBug:600266).  This make it hard for users to look at fairly normal text documents.  Chromium show text/* files in the browser.
   * Usability issue: the KDE file manager fail to play Ogg Theora videos recorded by gtk-recordmydesktop because file report mime type "application/ogg" instead of "video/ogg" (DebianBug:762561).  Video players like vlc (DebianBug:762564) and gnome-mplayer (DebianBug:762565) should be updated to list video/ogg as a supported MIME type.  The dragonplayer package already support video/ogg.
-  * exim4-config some times fail to install, reporting "Failed to acquire random data (DebianBug:762103).  Triggered by a bug in eatmydata, affecting all GnuTLS users.
   * LTSP diskless workstations: The Kerberos TGT is valid for 10 hours as it should be. Clicking the key symbol, the krb5-dialog lacks the username; the realm is OK, though (DebianBug:762906).
-  * Rosegarden is no longer installed.  It was removed from the music task as a workaround for a bug in lilypond (DebianBug:758787).  When lilypond build on  powerpc and mips (DebianBug:760794), rosegarden can be reinserted in the task.
   * Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (DebianBug:758992)
-  * Grub ask users to enter /dev/ path to hard drive on a single hard drive machine (DebianBug:712907)
   * Local user on roaming workstation (and probably other profiles) do not have working USB plug and play.  Inserting USB memory stick is not discovered in KDE.  Petter suspect missing plugdev group membership or some missing policykit setup is the cause. [No problem in virtualbox vm with USB key (profile main-server with desktop xfce or KDE): the plugdev is discovered and usable.]   
   * The command 'net time' causes a segmentation fault (DebianBug:760781).
   * The cups management site 'www:631' doesn't work any longer. Remote printer management should be documented.
   * debian-edu-doc.git: the jessie manual is missing.
-  * The URL http://wpad/wpad.dat is not understood by apache and give a 404 error.  It should hand out /etc/debian-edu/www/wpad.dat instead.
   * Gosa allow admins to add invalid DNS names in the web interface, and the LDAP to DNS export script gladly pass them on to bind (DebianBug:710362), which break and take down the entire installation when the LDAP server is unknown in DNS. [Seems to be fixed in the gosa version available in jessie, see mail to bug.]

   * On LTSP diskless workstations the homedir isn't mounted. This is caused by automounter running and blocking /skole as mountpoint for sshfs. As a workaround (to be able to test things) set RM_SYSTEM_SERVICES=autofs in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf.
