 I would prefer to do stuff cleanly and setup a iurt instance for mdv 
 2010.1 ( and .0 )
 on ecosse or jonund, and let us push and rebuild on ( like we do for 
 backport on mdv )
 from cauldron svn.

 We could also change in puppet
 ensure => present to
 ensure => latest, to be sure we are up to date ( for package definition 
 ).
