Menulibre, Mugshot, Catfish, Parole, LightDM GTK+ Greeter Status

[Sean Davis]

Hey Jackson,

Neither package are really debian-ready at this point.  I started both 
using quickly in Ubuntu, which really makes for some bad packaging.  
Ideally I'll have mugshot ready to package soon.

What needs to be done to become a member of the PAPT?
