[Debian-med-packaging] Praat package

[Rafael Laboissière]

I uploaded version 6.4.01+dfsg-2 of the praat package to unstable. In 
this version, there is only one desktop file for running the Praat 
program, which can be launched either by clicking on the icon or by 
dropping a file (*.praat script or sound file) on it.

Could you please check if it works for you ?

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
