I'd like to present a little update on this:

This is done.

This is not done yet, but will be done once 3.4.2 is released, as
announced in the original mail too.

On topic of supported platforms: Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) is nearing its
end of life, so 3.3.9 and 3.4.2 will be the last supported versions on
this platform. The Oneiric repository will be removed in early july,
roughly two months after Oneiric reached its end of life.
