That's so outdated ... compared to 0.52 being released a few days ago.

We'd appreciate if you could test the git version on ubuntu (especially
getting a master-slave setup running).

I need to think more about this. Especially with having
get_default_mirror() related TODO entries ...

Do we need to add anything to distros.conf for supporting Ubuntu?
I'm primarily thinking about "partial" distros like security updates
(the equivalent to wheezy/updates) and volatile updates (aka
wheezy-updates).

easier ....
