Hi release team!

There have been a few issues that have come up in the facter package
that should really be included in Squeeze. The puppet packaging team
has fixed them and so I am writing to ask that you please make a 
freeze exception for facter 1.5.7-2.

The choice for what changes to include were chosen specifically because they
were simple, and important for Squeeze. This closes a number of bugs in the
process (#515726, #585867, #585867, #515591, #603001):

  . debian/NEWS item to alert people about potential upgrade problems
  . fixed lintian error in debian/NEWS
  . add missing versioned dependency (ruby1.8) 
  . removed unused dependency (cdbs)
  . fixed an important core fact (domain/fqdn) #515591
  . added Vcs/Homepage fields to debian/control
  * debian/NEWS: fix lintian syntax-error-in-debian-news-file
  * debian/facter.8: fix manpage-section-mismatch
  * cherry pick important upstream virtualization support

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for your hard work on
Squeeze, i'm looking forward to this release!
