Bug#757852: Small fix in Orca packaging

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe]

Hi,

Thanks for this patch, it's indeed cleaner than my solution. But 
Metacity seems to be still maintained, isn't it? I see that there is a 
3.12 release in testing.  What's the situation? I thought it was obsolete.

If Metacity is not used anymore in Debian usefully, we can patch 
gnome-orca package. If it is, as soon as I can commit, I'll apply an 
upload to introduce a mate-orca package with this patch, and maybe other 
mappings.

Regards,
