[Sugar-devel] New year, new testing image

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Hi Mattew,

Here we have two alternatives:
* Filter our data with a database of serial numbers.
* Provide two different images, one for testing, one for the AU deployment.

If you ask me, I prefer (obviously) not need to do 2 different images,
but is not too difficult (just change one rpm), but time consuming.
