Bug#1111202: gexiv2: 0.15 API transition

Source: gexiv2
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Simon noticed [1] that gexiv2 0.15 is an API transition so I'm filing
this bug to provide more awareness and coordination for the
transition.

We already updated the watch file to only watch for 0.14.x releases.

It doesn't look like we have anything that needs the new gexiv2 yet.

We might need to add a legacy gexiv2-0.14 source package in case we
aren't able to port everything to the new API. I prefer using the
unversioned source package name for the newer recommended API (as I
did with libgnome-games-support and libgnome-games-support1 for the
older GTK3 version).
