[helix-maintainers] Some progress

[Thomas Maurer]

After a few hours working hard (ok, with some beers ;)) on the
helix-player deb, I'm quite happy :).

I took this file [1] (exactly the same as the new .orig.tar.gz file),
created some dpatch patches and adapted the rest of the debian scripts.
So now we can just take a release tarball (or a nightly tarball) from
hc.org and rebuild.

The lintian output ..
--
W: helix-player: menu-command-not-in-package
/usr/lib/menu/helix-player:3 /usr/bin/hxplay
E: helix-player: menu-icon-not-in-xpm-format /usr/share/icons/hxplay.png

isn't a real problem (we can drop the file in the debian menu if it's so
important; the menu command is there, but symlinked with the postinst
script).

So, I ask you (Wouter) to contact a DD you know who has time and will to
upload our helix-player deb.

But please verify my work first by building the deb on ppc (for sid +
sarge, if possible). btw: I uploaded sarge+sid debs, now with the
correct version.
