DEHS now supports format 3.0 source packages

Although support for format 3.0 source packages on DEHS was expected to be added until DEHS2 was released, thanks to a contributed patch they are now supported.

Kudos to Didier Raboud for the patch!

userdir-ldap mail gateway updated

db.debian.org's mail gateway has been updated to support the export of ssh keys to only a subset of debian.org machines. This can be done by prepending "allowed_hosts=fqdn1,fqdn2 " to the ssh public key. For more information read the mail gateway instructions.

piuparts.d.o

RFH: piuparts bugs filing and fixing. currently there are 50 (check) open bugs submitted by going through the piuparts logs. these need fixing. and those 300-500 not submitted needs submitting. for this i need help. please contact me/debian-qa.

reorganize the piuparts test: now there is a sid test and one that install ins lenny, then upgrades to squeeze and then tests squeeze alone. the plan is to do sid, squeeze, lenny2squeeze. and not fail the test for left over files after purge (and be some less pedantic in general) except for sid.

explain why its not about making piuparts happy, but about complying to policy, which will make users happy, as there are real world benifits. think DEBCONF_FRONTEND=non-interactive.

If you want to see more packages tested, fix #527063 ([shared-mime-info] owned and unowned files after purge).
