release jed to experimental

[G. Milde]

Testing jed, jed-common, xjed:

Update from /testing (0.99.16)                             OK
Remove 	    	     		   			   OK
Install jed|xjed and jed-common 0.99.18 from scratch	   OK
Remove
Install just jed-common					   OK
Remove jed-common:

  The following packages will be REMOVED:

  Try `rm --help' for more information.

The problem is in jed/compile/jed-common:

  remove)
	find $LIBDIR \( -name \*.slc -o -name \*.dfa \) -print0 | xargs -0 rm

since jed-common only Recommends: jed|xjed, it is possible that the
find doesnot return any matches and rm fails.

My suggestion would be to use the "original" construct still used in
jed-extra:

  remove)
	find $LIBDIR \( -name \*.slc -o -name \*.dfa \) -delete

together with 
 
  Depends: findutils (>= 4.2.9)

in control to be on the save side for mixed /stable - /testing
environments.

Objections?

With the abovementioned fix, it seems like the 0.99.18-2 packages are ready
for release.

Dear Rafael,


After the "uncoupling" of jed-extra and jed-common, we should be free to
release jed, jed-common, and xjed to "experimental".

I would be glad if you find the time for this during the next days (or
weeks).
