Astrid,
What decision have you made regarding which version of Mapbender to 
include on OSGeo-Live 6.5? I notice that you have been creating an 
install_mapbender3.sh script. If you are planning to move to mapbender3, 
then I suggest that we should probably be testing it in the upcoming 
releases that Angelos is about to build.
