mickey/sane-updates-and-defaults

[Michael 'Mickey' Lauer]

Hi guys,

I tried to build the minimal distro again after quite a while. I noticed
we have a bunch of inconsistent default versions in our metadata, which
we should fix asap. To layout one of several examples: hal 0.5.11 is the
default which depends on a libvolumeid version which has
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = -1.

Ångström users will probably not notice this, since they override a
large bunch of settings, however I think it's very important to get our
default set of versions right as well.

To check our current state wrt. upstream sources I also removed my
source dir and disabled all mirrors -- which resulted in a bunch of
changed SRC_URIs and udpated versions as well.

Since this touches some core files, I'd like you to take a look before I
push.

Cheers,

Great! The last time I tried that the hatemail flooded my inbox ("Do it 
in your own distro you moron!"), which is why the angstrom configs have 
gotten so big.
Having said all that, please note that there's a subtle difference 
between 'sane defaults' and 'globally hiding bugs'.
