[Bug 385529] [NEW] Migrate to synergy-plus

[Mark Rogers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synergy

Synergy2 is old and buggy, in particular facing problems around the
clipboard and typically crashing frequently.

It has not been updated since 2006. However, a small number of forks exist of which the most active appears to be synergy-plus: 
http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/

There is a Windows installer but it retains cross-platform support in
the source, which is trivial to build on Ubuntu following the
instructions in their wiki. It retains compatibility with existing
configuration files and is a drop-in replacement, but one which is being
maintained.

The current version is 1.3.3, which is not a huge step up from 1.3.1
currently in Ubuntu so adopting it now is not a major undertaking.

Therefore Ubuntu should consider replacing synergy 1.3.1 with synergy-
plus 1.3.3
