Alright, padre 0.90 uploaded to unstable (with unstable branch merged 
into master, thanks Dominique for the kindly TODO item :)

Seven plugins fail to load. Upstream bugs filed and there is a will to 
fix the plugins so that they work with the new Padre. I suspect they'd 
gladly welcome help.

I guess I should also file (RC) bugs for the corresponding Debian 
packages (as a reminder and maybe a warning to their users):

 - libpadre-plugin-autoformat-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-css-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-html-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-javascript-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-xml-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-perltidy-perl
 - libpadre-plugin-vi-perl

It is getting late now, so if somebody feels like it, please go ahead.
