Bug Description

indicator-applications upstream dropped support gtk2, it means no panel using gtk+2 can use indicator-applications. It's the case for Xubuntu and Lubuntu which uses a gtk+2 panel.

The goal is to re-upload another source package of indicator-applications with only gtk+2 binaries, to not have a regression since previous releases. As indicator-applications doesn't use any gtk+3 specific code (outside the build system), the plan is to re-upload the same source package than indicator-applications, to share as much as possible fixes that could be applies to the original source package.

It's a temporary solution, until the panels of Xubuntu and Lubuntu have been ported to gtk+3.

Ok, uploaded.

Julien, can you follow up with the release team? (you said that you already discussed with them so it should be fine, but just in case)
Thanks.
