Converting linphone to git

[Felix Lechner]

Hi Bernhard,

For several years, I maintained a popular Ubuntu PPA for Linphone and later
contributed my packages to Debian. (Belledonne also offered compensation.)
For a variety of reasons, which included a lack of upload privileges to the
archive, my effort stalled. Besides packaging codecs, I tried to split off
libraries that ship inside the upstream tarball but are actually versioned
separately. If there is interest, I would be happy to work with you on
packaging a new upstream version for Linphone. Thank you!

Best regards,
Felix
