[ubuntu-studio-devel] Backports

[lukefromdc at hushmail.com]

In the case of Kdenlive, versions 15.08 and later use a different file format.
They can read an old project but cannot save back to the old format, saving 
to the new and renaming the old one as a backup. If the user deletes the 
backup, then reverts Kdenlive versions 15.04 and earlier cannot open the 
file written by the later version.  Fortunately Kdenlive will warn of that and 
tell the user about the backup file,
