Excellent. It's been a long time since cnc6 :)

I've a couple of pending patches that I'd like to see in cnc7:
- Clean up tons of warnings from documentation build (by Ville Skyttä)
  http://laiskiainen.org/apt/patches/apt-0.5.15cnc6-docbook.patch
- Update the python bindings to current API
  http://laiskiainen.org/apt/patches/apt-0.5.15cnc6-python-update.patch

The last one is perhaps a bit controversial - it makes apt take readonly
lock on rpmdb instead of exclusive rw lock during initial dependency
calculations. I've been using this on hundreds of hosts at work and it's
been included in Fedora Extras apt without any complaints or noticed
brokenness though...
http://laiskiainen.org/apt/patches/apt-0.5.15cnc6-rdonly.patch

Is it ok if I commit the first two? Thoughts about the rdonly-thingy?
