Bug description:
  I'd like to request inclusion of the Qreator package in universe.

  # About Qreator

  - A QR code creator
  - GPL-3, written in Python and GTK+, uses python-distutils-extra
  - Home: https://launchpad.net/qreator
  - Stable releases PPA: https://launchpad.net/~qreator-hackers/+archive/qreator-stable/
  - Available in extras for Ubuntu 12.04, but since the ARB process is ongoing changes due to the new app upload story, I'd like to get Qreator available in universe for Q, R and S

  # About this request

  - I've read the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Going_through_MOTU
  - I've had an initial chat with MOTUs on #ubuntu-motu
  - I'd like to eventually get Qreator into Debian. However, that requires some work in the code to remove Ubuntu-specific dependencies (e.g. it uses the Software Centre database API) that would need to be disabled first. That will still take me a while, and in the meantime I'd like to make Qreator available to users nevertheless.
  - .dsc to get sponsored: https://launchpad.net/~qreator-hackers/+archive/qreator-stable/+files/qreator_13.05.1.dsc
  - I'm on #ubuntu-motu and other Ubuntu-related channels, generally on CET times (nick: dpm)
