Please merge gdesklets 0.36.1-2 (universe) from Debian unstable

Only debian/ changes. Full debdiff available upon request.

In addition to rebasing the version, this patch makes a radical departure from the previous package. Previously, Ubuntu tried to fix bug 344079 by making gdesklets use python2.5, not python2.6. Except that it didn't get the dependency right and caused bug 350562.

I messed around a bit and getting python-support to play nicely with a lower dependency was more trouble than it was worth. So I looked again at why python2.6 was failing. It seemed to be a small change to get it to work, so I made a patch and used that instead, letting gdesklets use python2.6.

I tested a bunch of desklets and they seemed to work. Some didn't, but it didn't look like python errors. Arch Linux seems happy with a similar patch that just comments out the code I patched. So I suspect there aren't many lingering python2.6 incompatibilities. If there are, I move that they be separate bugs that are patched further, rather than forcing this package to live at python2.5.

This bug was fixed in the package gdesklets - 0.36.1-2ubuntu1
