Ubuntu FAI-Release-branch PPA

[Moritz Struebe]

Hey,

I was able to persuade Thomas to add a release branch to FAI. From now
on the release-branch will automatically be imported to Lauchpad [1],
built, packaged and copied into a PPA [2].

Unfortunately FAI can currently not be used as NFSroot out of the box
due to some packaging issues with Dracut and initramfs [3]. I've
implemented a hack around that and provide it as PPA [4]. Any support in
maintaining this and getting this fixed in Ubuntu is welcome.

I will try to keep this stuff running, but for private reasons I will
not be able to spend much time doing so (one of the reasons I persuaded
Thomas to add the release branch). I will not be following the FAI-ML
closely, so if there is anything to be fixed in a timely manner (missing
release in the PPA, etc) please contact me directly.

Cheers
Morty
