+  [ Martin Wimpress ]
+  * debian/patches:
+   + Add 0001_mate-terminal-wrapper.patch. Adds support for double quoted
+     strings. Adapted from gnome-terminal.wrapper. (Closes: #783000).

-> This update for mate-terminal in jessie replaces mate-terminal.wrapper
(written in Python) with one adapted from gnome-terminal.wrapper (written
in Perl) so that is now supports double quoted commands. This fixes the
following downstream (Ubuntu) issue:

It may also fix the a similar issue in Debian, though untested.

About the language change (Python -> Perl). Martin and I (both of use do
a lot of Python development) both stared at the script for half a day and
could not find a simple way to support double quotes. So at the end of
the day, we chose to switch over to the Perl script (which upstream did,
as well).

light+love,
Mike
