Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I am providing a patch for an upgraded meta-gnome3 (against SVN
trunk). It drops many old dependencies, and notably gnome-panel and
gnome-session-fallback (which are unsupported as of GNOME 3.8), in
favor of newer alternatives, such as gnome-shell-extensions that
provides the "classic" experience.
I also included a couple more alternatives: bijiben in addition to
tomboy and gnote, banshee in addition to rhythmbox, and
epiphany-browser-webkit2 in addition to iceweasel.
This way the users can benefit from the latest release without relying
on (most of the) old cruft.
I also updated the development packages' versions and names where
appropriate.
In order for this patch to be accepted, first debian bugs #715354,
#715356, and a bin NMU for gnome-sushi should be performed. These are
needed so that gcr picks up the newer libtasn version, and gedit and
gnome-sushi pick up the new libgtksourceview-3.0-1 library.
Let me know if I can be of further help. I am not a debian developer,
but as I always heard that "patches are welcome"... here I am :-).
Cheers,
Matteo
