Bug#604727: Improved dh_gsettings helper

[Josselin Mouette]

Hi,

here is a new version of dh_gsettings that brings some functionality
that was missing.

To answer Joey’s concerns: 
 1. It actually needs to install files too. Although the upstream
mechanism is much saner than for GConf, per-package overrides
still need to be set, e.g. for Debian branding. This new version
adds the feature in a similar way to what dh_gconf does. 
 2. A large number of packages are expected to use GSettings, since
it is the blessed replacement for GConf. At the moment, already
20 packages in experimental use it, and the number is growing
quickly while we package GNOME 3.0.

It would be nice if you could include this in debhelper, as well as in
the default command set for dh.

Thanks,

After I sent it, it was suggested that the libdconf0 name might change
in the future, which might cause problems and need changes in debhelper.

In order to avoid that, we have split the GSettings backend in a
separate package. This should avoid you some uploads in the future.

Thanks for considering,
