Wow, that's cool, thanks very much! Dare I ask, how difficult was it? 
Did you have to do any recompilation or just a slight tweak to the 
package headers or something?

Second question, would you have done it if it weren't for this 4.5 
release of the live DVD? Was that a one-off fix to get around the 
problem of Prune not being in the Lucid repositories, or would there be 
a benefit to keep this gis-unstable up to date with future backports to 
the LTS release? Version 11 of Prune is already in Narwhal, so if there 
was any interest then theoretically that could be backported too. But if 
it was just a one-off then that's fine too :)
