Bug#867731: RFS: smart-mode-line/2.11.0-1 [ITP]



Hi Chris,

If you have time, would you please sponsor this one too?  I packaged
over year ago as part of a project to move from my custom
decades-old .emacs.el customisations to something more general
purpose.  During this time I haven't been able to trigger a single
bug, so I believe the package has proven itself worth of inclusion
into the archive.  Because it's something I use all the time I'm
highly motivated to fix any potential issues that might emerge.

Changes since last upload:

 * Update Maintainer team name and email address.
 * Relax debhelper Build-Depends to allow backporting.
 * Declare Standards-Version: 4.1.4. (No additional changes needed)
 * Expand long description to be more user-friendly

OTTO long description, I decided to add this--something to the effect
of why mode-line customisations can be useful, and certainly the
reason why I bothered to learn about them years ago (vertical real
estate on a cramped 11.6" 16:9 netbook:

+ If you have a small screen device such as a netbook, and have been
+ looking for a way to maximise the vertical real estate available
+ for editing, without losing the consistent location of the clock,
+ then install this addon, run emacs full-screen, and discover
+ how powerful the mode-line can be.  It can replace most of the
+ functionality that a desktop panel provides!

Cheers,
Nicholas
