SRU request:

Impact: gcstar in oneiric cannot pull information from the GameSpot web site, resulting in the inability to fetch details for video games.

The issue was fix in Precise with a patch, and patch was sent upstream.

Attached is the minimal debdiff to fix this in Oneiric.

To test:
1- Start gcstar
2- Create a new "video games" collection
3- Add a new game called "uncharted"
4- Click "Fetch Information" button, select GameSpot
5- Select "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" from list
5- Notice missing information fields, including platform and description.
