pastebinit default target on Ubuntu

[Thomas Ward]

For awareness, with my Debian Maintainer hat on and also my upstream pastebinit contributor hat on:

Today version 1.7.0 of pastebinit was tagged in GitHub.  It includes many improvements since 1.6.2 and includes the dpaste.org addition.

Note that while I think there's specific overrides for Ubuntu and Debian, the 'default' of pastebinit upstream is now bpa.st.

We can relatively quickly add code logic *in* pastebinit that changes the default for Ubuntu to bpaste.org or such.

1.7.0-1 was uploaded to Debian today but can be rapidly updated if needed to add Ubuntu logic.  Or we can distropatch that in with a merge or such.

Oh, I totally agree with this, and supporting dpaste.org was easy enough:
 - https://github.com/pastebinit/pastebinit/pull/5

(for those who wants to use it already, just add that config to ~/.pastebin.d and adjust ~/.pastebinit.xml accordingly).
