Pre-approval for wide-dhcpv6 t-p-u upload

[Jérémie Corbier]

Hello Release Team,

A grave bug was reported against wide-dhcpv6 earlier today [0].  The fix is
really simple [2] and I already prepared a package.  The thing is the current
version in unstable (20080615-3) has quite a lot of changes compared to the one
in testing (20080615-1).  Therefore I prepared a testing package [1] and I ask
for permission to upload it via t-p-u.

Here are stats about the changes between 20080615-1 and the proposed package:

  $ git diff --stat debian/20080615-1..testing-proposed-updates/20080615-1lenny1
