Bug#462833: ITA: libupnp -- Intel Universal Plug And Play SDK

[Nick Leverton <nick@leverton.org>]

I'm considering adopting libupnp since I wanted it for my home network
and I had already packaged the update to 1.6 as a trial for my own use.

My attempt at a libupnp3 package for unstable can be found at
http://debian.leverton.org/debian/dists/etch/main/source/libupnp_1.6.5-1.dsc
http://debian.leverton.org/debian/dists/etch/main/source/libupnp_1.6.5-1.diff.gz
http://debian.leverton.org/debian/dists/etch/main/source/libupnp_1.6.5.orig.tar.gz

I would be very grateful if someone could review this package, and also
if anyone felt able to mentor/sponsor me as maintainer.  I'll update
WNPP properly and retitle this bug if someone can check that my packaging
skills are not too far out !

I tested this package by linking linux-igd against libupnp3 and it seems
to work on the limited testing I can do (consisting of adding uPnP port
forwards to linux-igd from Windows).  linux-igd doesn't seem to use the
updated APIs anyway.

Of course the few uPnP aware packages already in Debian are using libupnp0
or libupnp2, but I decided it was not worth packaging 1.4.7 since the
1.6.x branch is already seeming more mature.  I hope they will be able
to update to libupnp3 if we can make it available before the Lenny freeze.

Thanks in hope for any comments,

Nick Leverton
