** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  The new geis package is a rename of the utouch-geis package, due to the 
upstream project being renamed. This package is a branch of upstream 2.2.9, the 
last version to be released on precise.
+ 
+ The XCB backend has been removed because it was dead code and the only
+ alternative would be to excise references to uTouch for no gain. The
+ backend has already been removed upstream.
  
  [Test Case]
  Build package in pbuilder chroot.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Very minor. The upstream merge renames files and symbols. A number of bugs 
were also fixed in the upstream merge.
