Initial packaging for Polari

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Hi Brandon,

I have finally looked at polari. Thanks for your work on it! The package looks
fairly good. I just have a few comments.

* desktop-file-validate works just fine here, we have 0.22 which knows about the
new keys. Perhaps you're on an Ubuntu release with an older desktop-file-utils?

* Files in src/lib/* are LGPL, this needs to be documented in debian/copyright.
Also remove the comments at the end of debian/copyright.

* You probably want a dependency on telepathy-idle.

* We wrap dependency fields in debian/control, one package per line. Makes it
easier to review changes.

* The dh_girepository command doesn't seem to be working, as the resulting .deb
doesn't depend on the appropriate gir1.2-* packages (glib, gtk+, telepathy...).

How do I add a connection? Through gnome-online-accounts ? Maybe polari should
include a button to do that, right now the '+' button has 'Join a room' and
'Message a user', both greyed out (as I'm not connected to a server). Perhaps
this and other stuff has been solved in git. The latest snapshot is pretty old
by now.
