Archive frozen for Gutsy release

I have fixed the milestoned bugs

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/149529
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/149264

and packaged system-config-printer for them today, well before your 
freeze announcement, but unfortunately after my usual upload sponsors 
pitti and doko have left. Can you do the upload for me.

The package with debdiff is here

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/system-config-printer/ 


The changes are very small and I have tested them and they really fix 
the two bugs.

The impact of the fix is rather high: Currently no Canon inkjet gets set 
up automatically even with Gutenprint supporting it and the job viewer's 
  menu entry goes into the KDE-only "System Tools" menu (so makes a menu 
for itself on non-KDE Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu).

Here is the Debian ChangeLog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
system-config-printer (0.7.75+svn1653-0ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

   * debian/patches/10_menu_entries.patch: Let menu entry for displaying
     queued jobs appear in the "Accessories" menu and not under "Systemn
     Tools". "Systemn Tools" is KDE-specific (LP: #149529).
   * debian/patches/20_match_more_printers.patch: Do best match by
     "most important word" case-insensitive. This matches especially
     the Canon printers correctly with the Gutenprint PPDs (LP: #149264).
