Aligning under space16.
The Debian package of osad needs to be rebased to the latest version. The fix should lend in client/debian/osad directory in the spacewalk.git.
This issue is currently blocked by lack of active maintenance of the Debian packages: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-March/msg00051.html If we don't find a volunteer soon, we'll have to close this bugzilla without resolution.
Since we have no active maintainer for the Debian packages, closing as CANTFIX. https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-devel/2012-June/msg00029.html
