Sonata and mpdris2 seem fine from some brief testing, and neither
mentions stickers anywhere in its source code.

I haven't tried fookebox yet, but there's no mention of stickers
there either, so it's probably fine.

I have prepared packaging for python-mpd2 under the python[3]-mpd name,
and also taken the opportunity to add a python-mpd-doc package with
HTML and Devhelp documentation and get it lintian-clean.

It should show up soon at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/smcv/python-mpd.git
but doesn't seem to be there yet. Please fetch from
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/users/smcv/python-mpd.git for now.

I will upload this to experimental in a few days if nobody objects.
