Just as a reminder: If this ever does get backported to Lucid, I'd
recommend that the versioned dependency should be "vgabios (>=
0.6c-2ubuntu2~)" (notice the tilde at the end). This is because
vgabios will have to be backported as well and the backport will be
versioned as e.g. 0.6c-2ubuntu2~lucid1, so it would not satisfy the
tildeless versioned dependency.
