Bug#584981: Split gnome-utils into multiple binary packages

[Robert Ancell]

Package: gnome-utils
Version: 2.30.0-1

Please split the gnome-utils package into a binary package per application.

The primary reason for splitting is for consistency:
- For users there is no logical connection between the applications, 
i.e. baobab and gnome-screenshot are no more related than baobab and 
gcalctool.
   - We are exposing a development process convenience to users.
- The current method for removing these applications is to to disable 
their menus.  This is inconsistent with other applications where you can 
use the standard package management tools.
- Removing from the menu does not stop a user from running these tools 
from the command line.  A sysadmin may want only a subset of these tools 
exposed to their users.

I tried to make a Debian patch from the Ubuntu package [1], but I ran 
into trouble with the .install files - the Debian package has a more 
complex build system.  Also note I dropped the ancient Conflicts that 
don't seem to exist anymore.
