[pkg-cinnamon] nautilus and open-terminal extension

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

a couple of days ago, we had a user stop by on #debian-gnome, who was
confused because his nautilus had two "Open terminal" entries in the RMB
context menu.

The issue here is, that newer versions of nautilus have that feature
built in and the user also had the nautilus-open-terminal package
installed, resulting in the duplicated menu entry.

Now that nautilus-open-terminal is no longer required to provide that
functionality, we were wondering what to do about.

Should the nautilus-open-terminal package be dropped from the archive
and nautilus have a Conflicts: nautilus-open-terminal, so the package is
removed on upgrades?
Or as an alternative, nautilus-open-terminal could become an empty dummy
package in jessie, which simply depends on a recent enough version of
nautilus and in jessie+1 we simply drop the package.

Julien, you seem to be most active uploader of that package, so your
input would be appreciated.

I've also CCed the cinnamon team. Not sure if their nautilus fork nemo
would be affected by this and if they'd like to keep the extension for nemo.
