[Ubuntu] Package Updating

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Alex,

I would be glad to see a list of what need to be upgraded for precise 
(that means for all other release). Also, if some packages doesn't need 
upgrade, you could probably do the upload for precise. (Note that we 
have to respect the dependencies order)

Thanks,
Alan
