Bug#850836: gnome-screenshot: Generated generic filenames use colon in timestamp which is bad for some filesystems

[Moritz Schlarb]

Package: gnome-screenshot
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

If used without GUI (e.g. by pressing the PrintScr key or from a shell with no
arguments), gnome-screenshot will simply take a screenshot of the whole screen
and store it in the pictures directory with a filename containing the current
timestamp with colons (i.e. "Screenshot from 2017-01-10 16:46:39.png").
This leads to problems with some filesystems (e.g. vfat, ntfs).
This was also already reported upstream in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698740 and there is an ubuntu bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1054808.
gnome-screenshot 3.22.0-1, the version currently in testing already contains
this fix from upstream (i.e. "Screenshot from 2017-01-10 16-46-39.png").

I would very much advocate for at least a backported version of this package
containing this patch.
