Hi,
I upgraded to Hardy today. Everything went fine except for one thing:
All my network shares for folders located on NTFS drives disappeared.
What's worse is that I cannot recreate them. I believe this is due to

Valgrind 3.4.0 introduces a really neat feature for finding the reason behind
those
pesky "jump/move depends on unintialized memory" errors.
What this new feature does is that it prints the _origin_ of the undefined value

One gigantic improvement would be downloading package deltas
instead of whole .DEB files. I don't think this is necessarily that
hard to do in a reliable fashion. I assume you already thought
about that and it might be out of Ubuntu's scope (i.e. better

For the first bug I recommend that you upstream it. There is not a lot
of people in the Ubuntu project that fix bugs themselves, most people
spend their time on packaging and integration (even though some people
also do upstream work separately from their Ubuntu work). Filing an
Ubuntu bug is nice
