(I have included the last two versions as the current version in Jaunty is 0.5 - an inclusion request was made for 0.6, but not actioned.)
The package has been verified as building against Jaunty as can be seen in our PPA: https:/
The main reason for this exception request is that the latest version includes additional contextual information and the distribution of the suspend_test script as required by the kernel team. Other reasons are the updating of the packaging for Jaunty & Python 2.6, the new local report which will aid testers, and general bugfixes and improvements.

Speaking for the kernel team, I don't think the addition of suspend_test requires a feature freeze exception. Its an existing feature that was merely relocated from the kernel to a more logical package.
Marking as Beta release critical because we _really_ want this script out in the wild.
