Plans for Shibboleth SP 2.1 debian packages

[Patrik Schnellmann]

Hi all,

We have installed the etch-backports Shib packages and they work pretty well
for us.

Now that lenny is about to be released as the next stable Debian version, when
could we estimate to get backports for lenny? What about an amd64 version?

Thank you and best regards,
Patrik
