As a contributor to adept, I would second a serious use of caution in
any sort of syncing.  If we have a new version of apt-front to work
with, I would urge an approach of a very supervised and tested merge
more than a sync.

We do have extensive changes to adept including crash bug fixes with the
upgrader, the inclusion of the kubuntu logo for supported packages,
changelog viewing support, and quite a few more grab-bag bug fixes.
Some of these bug fixes have greatly changed how some things happen in
adept.  The feature I'm working on now for fixing the dpkg locks is one
of the most complained about bugs and it requires some serious tinkering
in how adept opens the dpkg database for use with the adept UI.

Let's please make sure we've got a good reason for why we need to do
this.  As I stated previously, if an apt or apt-front change requires
some updating of adept, I'll see if I can put some time into helping
after I'm done with the bug I'm currently on.  I just don't want to see
us throw away a lot of the stuff we've got in there.
