  Description     : canvas widget for GTK+ that uses the cairo 2D library

 GooCanvas is a canvas widget for GTK+ that uses the cairo 2D library for
 drawing. It has a model/view split, and uses interfaces for canvas items and
 views, so you can easily turn any application object into canvas items.

GooCanvas 2.0.2 has been uploaded to experimental already, but there are many
reverse dependencies that prevent a transition in unstable.

Therefore, the goocanvas source package is being renamed to goocanvas-2.0
because it can actually be installed simultaneously with version 0.15 in
unstable. This is in line with what has already been done in Ubuntu. The
version in experimental will eventually be removed.

Goocanvas is a good fit for the Debian Gnome Team, but if that doesn't work out
I will maintain it in collab-maint.

Regards,

Ross
