libmtp7 -> libmtp8 transition

[Rafael Laboissiere]

I hereby request the authorization to upload libmtp 0.3.6 to unstable.
Since version 0.3.0-1 of the package, uploaded to experimental on June 30,
2008, the SOVERSION was bumped to libmtp8.  The current version in unstable
(0.2.6.1-3) has libmtp7.

I looked at the packages that build-depend on libmtp-dev.  Here is the
current situation:

* amarok

  The version currently in experimental (2.0.1.1-1) depends already on
  libmtp8.  Nothing to do here.

* audacious-plugins

  Version 1.5.1-2 needs a patch to src/mtp_up/mtp.c like the one attached
  below.  The package compiles fine but I did not tested it with an MTP
  device.

* banshee

  I could not build this package in my sid/experimental system because of a
  complex web of dependencies starting with cli-common-dev.  However, Ubuntu
  intrepid has version 1.2.1-3ubuntu1 that depends on libmtp8.
  
* gnomad2  

  Ubuntu has already done the transition since intrepid (version
  2.9.1-1ubuntu1).  I advice to just apply the Ubuntu patch [1] to the
  Debian package.

* mtpfs

  Version 0.9 currently in experimental builds fine without changes against
  libmtp-dev 0.3.6.

* rhythmbox  
  
  Version 00.11.6-1 needs a patch to plugins/mtpdevice/rb-mtp-source.c like
  the one attached below.  The package compiles fine but I did not tested it
  with an MTP device.
  
If nobody objects, I will upload libmtp 0.3.6 to unstable in the next days.
If the maintainers of the packages mentioned above take too much time to
react, I will file appropriate bug reports.

Thanks,
