Bug#604846: vte: Update to 0.27.2

OK, my understanding from the discussion with upstream is that 0.27 is
the unstable lead-up to a stable 0.28.  For 0.28, the library and gir
names will remain as they are in 0.27 (libvte.so.9/libvte2_90.so.9 and
Vte-0.0.gir/Vte-2.90.gir).

Eventually vte will reach 1.0 and those gtk3 names will change to the
much more reasonable names libvte-3.0.so and Vte-3.0.gir.  If they still
care about gtk2 at that point, the names for those will be libvte.so.9
(presumably) and Vte-1.0.gir.

Since 0.28 will be the version for GNOME3 and upstream could not give an
ETA for 1.0, we're stuck with these names for a little while.

So, then I think my packaging gets the major names right:
gir1.0-vte-0.0
gir1.0-vte-2.90
libvte9
libvte-2.90-9
libvte-dev
libvte-2.90-dev

So the only change in terms of names from my original patch is to drop
the libvte-bin package?
