PiTiVi in Ubuntu 11.10 and beyond

[Dereck Wonnacott]

FWIW:

The pitivi team just got a new version out with quite some nice changes
in it and said they would do the glade to gtkbuilder conversion this
cycle, that seems enough material to revisit the decision later if the
new version is proving to be solid and the gtkbuilder switch get done so
what people think of keeping pitivi on by default until before beta and
discuss what we do in a desktop team meeting then?

+1 from me.
