[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Re: RFS: GNUstep packages

I've repackaged gnustep-back (and gnustep-gui) so that the gnustep-back
package is now named gnustep-back0.10, to reflect the bundle name.  In
order to help with future parallel installation of different versions of
gnustep-back (to ease future library transitions), I've also split off
three new binary packages: gnustep-gpbs, gnustep-back-common, and
gnustep-back-doc.

As per discussion on debian-release, the new GNUstep packages may now be
uploaded to unstable. (Yay!)

Christoph: please grab the packages
(http://www.uhoreg.ca/programming/debian/gnustep/packages/), and upload.
(To build the packages, gnustep-make has to be built first, then
gnustep-base, then gnustep-gui, then gnustep-ppd, then gnustep-back,
then the others.)  For gnustep-make and gnustep-base, please change the
target release in the changelog from experimental to unstable, and
remove the note about uploading to experimental.  (I don't have time to
do a rebuild at the moment.  If you don't have time to make the change
before Monday, I'll make the change and re-upload to my site.)

After the core libraries get uploaded, everyone else can upload their
packages.  Just make sure to build-depend on libgnustep-gui0.10.  And
please double-check to make sure that your package will not be holding
up any of the other library transitions.  I tried to do my best to
check all the packages, but I may have missed something.
