Initial packaging for Polari

[Brandon Snider]

Hi. Thanks for the input.

I have made the changes to the packaging that you requested. The
dh_girepository command worked, but the appropriate line wasn't in
control. Also, new connections happen in -- what's it called, the
"application menu"? -- the menu that sits in the top bar. Click that >
"connections". Git is a bit further along than the most recent
tarball, but it's not a world of difference at this point.
