Bug#500089: ekiga 3.0 lenny backport

[Matt Taggart]

In order to more easily play with ekiga 3.0 I backported the package and 
it's dependencies from experimental to run on lenny. They seem to be 
working well and even stuff like autodetection of hotplugged usb cameras is 
working.

I built them for i386 and amd64 and made an apt source others can use. To 
use them add this line

deb http://lackof.org/~taggart/ekiga ./

to your /etc/apt/sources.list and update/install.

I will try to keep this apt source around until the packages make it into 
unstable->testing and we can put more official backports on backports.org.

Now some comments...
As ptlib is only in experimental, I don't see any reason why it can't go in 
unstable right away. As the existing libopal package is named "libopal-2.2" 
I assume the new one will be "libopal-3.4" and can coexist with the current 
one? So no reason for it to not go into unstable as well. If you are 
worried about ekiga going in to unstable disrupting existing ekiga users, I 
suppose you could consider adding it as an ekiga3 package... Even if you do 
it as just "ekiga"I personally think the added features are worth the 
potential problems, and if people really want to stick with 2.0.12 they can 
put it on hold. $0.02

Thanks,
