Bug#685527: unblock: packagekit/0.7.6-1
These are the only changes in 0.7.6 which matter for Debian (except
for one pkcon fix you left out) - all other patches aren't compiled
in.
I can prepare a 0.7.5-2+deb7u1 version, if these changes aren't
accepted, but I would prefer the other solution, if this is still
possible. If not, I'll upload the fix release in ~2.5weeks (I won't
have that much time before (away on a conference, and much university
stuff to do)), because some of the fixes (the one you listed) are
absolutely required.
Cheers,
Matthias
