Bug#843378: RFS: budgie-indicator-applet/0.1-1 ITP

["foss.freedom" <foss.freedom@gmail.com>]

Hi Gianfranco,

  I've submitted a revised package - since this required source
changes the version has changed to 0.2

I've changed to debhelper 10 as recommended.

Note however - when testing on sid and ubuntu zesty I still had to use
in the rules dh $@ --with autoreconf

without the clause, the source was not compiled - I just got an empty
deb binary :/

I also had to keep the extra dh_auto_install because the compilation
creates a .la file and this causes a lintian error.

I was a little surprised - the only real difference I saw between
debhelper 9 and 10 was that I didnt need to specify dh-autoreconf in
the control build-depends

BTW - is there a bug in mentors.debian.net because when I look at the
package it says I'm using debhelper 9 and it gives me a lintian error
that I'm missing dh-autoreconf?

I've changed to a text based pgp signature and thus removed the
include/binaries as requested.

Copyright 2+ --> 3 has been corrected.

I'm not sure what you meant by src:ido is RC buggy - libido3-0.1-dev
is an essential package for both mate-indicator-applet and this applet
compilation - same version exists in sid/stretch and ubuntu zesty.
