[Bug 434078] [NEW] [FFE] Karmic: Please sync gmameui 0.2.11-2 with Debian unstable

[Loïc Martin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gmameui

GMAMEUI has been accepted in Debian, and the Debian version offers
worthwhile changes with the 0.2.10~0ubuntu1 package in Karmic. Since
it's the first time it will be in Ubuntu (Jaunty and before didn't have
it), the changes would be good to have before users install 0.2.10 then
move to 0.2.11 in further Ubuntu releases (for the configuration files
location, and for the dependencies). Debian packaging contains all
Ubuntu packaging plus some improvements.

Main points are:
1. Uses XDG directory variables, config is now stored in .config/gmameui ;
2. Builds with --as-needed, cuts down the number of dependencies
    - compare http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/gmameui with http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/gmameui ;
3. Rightfully assign Debian Games Team as maintainer of the package.

The package builds and run fine in a Karmic i386, see build logs at
https://launchpad.net/~loic-
martin3/+archive/emulation/+build/1254033/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-
karmic-i386.gmameui_0.2.11-2~karmic1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz and packages at
https://launchpad.net/~loic-martin3/+archive/emulation

I've been testing the package in Karmic for a few weeks (time it took
siting in Debian NEW queue) and it works fine (see attached screenshot).


The diff between upstream changelogs is attached to the bug report.
