FFe and merge for Elisa 0.5.28-1 / sync request for elisa-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} 0.5.28-1 from Debian experimental

Rational:

The current version in Jaunty is very old, in view of the progress that has been made upstream the last months. Upstream has stated that this is quite important for them, as 0.5.9 (currently in Jaunty) was quite buggy and lacked a lot of important features. As this package is in main and will be officially supported by Canonical, keeping closer to both upstream and Debian will be helpful for backporting bug fixes ect.

I have built, installed, and used this under Jaunty. Build logs are available in the comments for elisa and all related plugin packages.

Other packages that need to be synced as part of transition:

pigment (0.3.14-1) - Please see Bug #331159
pigment-python (0.3.10-1) - Please see Bug #331162

Debian Changes:

elisa (0.5.28-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Added debian/patches/01_elisa-man1.patch to update the quite obsoleted
     man-page shipped with the release.
   * The NEWS.Debian file is only relevant for the elisa package, not
     python-elisa.
   * debian/rules:
     - Make sure that elisa depends on python-elisa with exactly the same
       source version. It will not start otherwise!

elisa (0.5.27-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (closes: #515208).
   * Added a missing suggest on python-simplejson;
     this is used for the plugin/update system when enabled.
   * Added debian/patches/00_disable-plugin-updates.patch.
   * Added debian/NEWS to explain about the disabled (plugin) update system.
   * debian/rules:
     - No longer drop elisa/extern/coherence, it is a modified copy that
       is needed by a lot of plugins.

 -- Paul van Tilburg <email address hidden> Sun, 15 Feb 2009 14:50:31 +0100

 elisa (0.5.25-1) experimental; urgency=low

   [ Sjoerd Simons ]

   [ Paul van Tilburg ]
   * New upstream release (closes: #499853, #491728, #507358).
   * debian/control:
     - Added myself as an uploader.
     - Removed legacy Conflict/Breaks: elisa-core.
     - Bumped the python-pgm depend to >= 0.3.9.
   * debian/elisa.install:
     - The elisa program is no longer located in bin/ in upstream, install
       it from debian/tmp.
     - Install shared data also from debian/tmp to be more consistent.
