  Great :)

  I neither use nor test against Ubuntu ..

  Are you sure that there are no distributions which this applies?

  That seems like a good thing to do, but I'm a little concerned
 that you only generate the EN.us locale - is it possible to generate
 the locales of the system instead?

  I'd hate to see a bug report from somebody using, say, a Greek
 locale ..

  I think I tried this in the past and when the package is upgraded
 the script comes back.  Still I'll accept that change right now.

  OK .. Will remove that if you can confirm that nobody using Ubuntu
 will have a static /dev.

  I will take the hwclock update.  The locale one I'd like to see
 improved before I take it.

  If you can confirm that the dev + tls fixes apply to *all* versions
 of ubuntu I'll take them.  (I'm hazy on what releases are available
 and what they offer.)

  Thanks for the updates, and for sharing :)
