Karmic spec drafting: all approved

Karmic feature work:
 * desktop-karmic-automagic-python-build-system:
  * completed upstream build system for all interesting file types, fixed lots of bugs
  * version 2.2 with current feature set uploaded to sid and karmic

Other work done:
 * Bug fixing: apport, udev, devicekit-power, hal-info, jockey, pkgbinarymangler
 * Defined my goals for 9.10 cycle
