Obsoletion of libgutenprintui1-1



Hi folks,

Gutenprint provides libgutenprintui1-1 and libgutenprintui1-dev
packages; these are a GTK+-1.2 version of GUI components used by the
GIMP Print dialogue in the gimp-print and libgutenprintui2-1 and
libgutenprintui2-dev packages, respectively.  The only user of these
packages was Cinepaint, which is still using GTK+-1.2, and is
abandoned upstream and unmaintained in Debian.  The next major stable
release of Gutenprint will drop this library (already removed in the
development series).

I have patched and NMUd cinepaint to contain a static copy of
libgutenprintui1-1, in order to keep it working.  This drops the
build-depends on libgutenprintui1-dev.  However, cinepaint appears to
be extremely buggy, and so should probably be removed for Lenny.

I have subsequently dropped the libgtk1.2-dev dependency from
gutenprint and stopped building these two library packages.


Regards,
Roger
