My bad ! I wanted to say I did *NOT* commit the changelog ! Sorry for 
dropping the *NOT* !

I have just uploaded it to my PPA (but with slight modification since 
Launchpad still does not support 3.0 quilt source formats). So anyone 
using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) can test them.

There are warnings about binaries without manpages, so I filed a bug 
upstream about that.

Then the usual desktop-entry-lacks-main-category warnings.
Finally, there's this lintian issue:

I: geda-symbols: package-contains-empty-directory usr/share/gEDA/sym/local/

I dunno wether I should remove that empty dir. or not.

I still did not test installing/upgrading those packages.

Before uploading to Debian, it is still needed to have a look at the 
bugs in current geda* packages, to see if that release closes any of 
them.
