Unofficial brltty 3.7.2 Debian package



Hi,

I have built a Debian package of brltty 3.7.2, the changelog entry is at
the bottom.  I have no braille device to test this package, but it seems
to work, the new X-Window module prints something.  This module pulls in
some packages from X11.  I would say that this is acceptable because
developments for many assistive technologies are now based on X, but
maybe some people would prefer a stripped down package.
Packages are available at
   http://people.debian.org/~barbier/tmp/brltty/
and built for sid.
Mario, will you have some time to have a look and incorporate the
changes you like in your version?  Otherwise, may I upload this into
unstable?
Thanks.

brltty (3.7.2-0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release.  (Closes: Bug#343122 which is a request for this update)
  * Killing brltty sometimes take a long time, thus replace the 5s delay in
    /etc/init.d/brltty by start-stop-daemon --retry 5.  (Closes: Bug#313262)
    Thanks Samuel Thibault for the report and a patch.
  * Fix a typo in brltty.postrm so that /etc/brlapi.key is removed when
    purging.  (Closes: Bug#327238)
  * Modify debconf scripts to avoid the "debconf is not a registry" trap.
    brltty.config now sets debconf values with those found in /etc/brltty.conf.
    The mapping between drivers code and name is put in debian/map.* files, and
    templates and config scripts take their values from these files.
  * Replace perl code by sed in brltty.postinst.
  * New debconf translations:
     - Swedish, by Daniel Nylander  (Closes: Bug#341029).
     - Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall  (Closes: Bug#313182).
  * Update German debconf translations, by Jens Seidel  (Closes: Bug#314146).
