Please sync gnucash 2.2.6-1 from debian unstable to intrepid

IMO, we should wait for 2.2.6.

 gnucash (2.2.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. (Closes: #492706, #492711, #492705, #492707,
     #492708, #491843, #473657, #481290).
   * debian/rules (configure): Add --enable-python-bindings and
     --enable-locale-specific-tax.
   * debian/control (Build-Depends): Remove build dependencies no longer
     needed (libltd3-dev, liborbit-dev, libungif4-dev), or which are

     libgnomevfs2-extra, imagemagick, libart-2.0-dev).

   * src/import-export/aqbanking/gnc-ab-utils.c (gnc_ab_get_remote_name):

I wonder if we should not better sync gnucash instead of a merge to reduce delta with debian.

Rolf : What's your opinion on this? Should we sync or merge debian package? I suggest to sync and to open bug report on debian bug tracking system and gnucash bugzilla if we want these very low issues to get fixed. All ubuntu-specific modifications are only cosmetic and could be applied to debian as well.

IMO, This will avoid lost time and delta with debian package which is very good.

Last merge changelog entry :

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes: (LP: #205570)
    + debian/control: build-dep change from libungif4-dev to libgif-dev
    + debian/gnucash.desktop, src/gnome/gnucash.desktop.*:
      - Fixed according to desktop-file-validate
    + debian/rules:
      - Don't ignore make clean errors, instead check if a Makefile exists, if
        not, don't call make clean
      - Call dh_desktop and dh_icons
    + debian/control:
      - Change maintainer to MOTU.
      - Bump Standards Version to 3.7.3
    * Thx to Frédéric Lespez for taking the initial steps.

I agree that pushing out real fixes upstream is generally the better choice over keeping a delta perpetually. I also see this as Ubuntu's responsibility given that we profit a great deal from Debian. If we fix something we should try to get it pushed upstream. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

To the ubuntu sponsors team for universe team : You can read the description of the bug report for all details about current sync request.

This bug was fixed in the package gnucash - 2.2.6-1ubuntu1
