needs packaging: systemd-multi-seat-x

[Richard Hansen]

The /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-multi-seat-x utility is a wrapper around X to improve support for multiseat setups. This utility is a (hopefully) temporary workaround until upstream X and its associated input drivers are able to cleanly support multiseat via command-line arguments.

At least gdm requires this utility to support multiseat X setups. While LightDM doesn't yet support multiseat at all (see bug #1085841 and bug #1190581), adding multiseat support to LightDM will be easier if this utility is available.

systemd (204-0ubuntu10) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/systemd-services.install: Install systemd-multi-seat-x
    (LP: #1214146)
  * debian/local/78-graphics-card.rules: Also recognize vmwgfx driver. Thanks
    Reagan Sanders! (LP: #1208024)
  * Add 0000-upstream-hwdb-updates.patch: Update to latest upstream fixes of
    hwdb, to get proper keyboard support.
  * Move to hwdb keymap database to be able to continue to sync to upstream,
    and benefit from the improved speed and eased maintenance:
    - Drop 0000-upstream-keymaps.patch.
    - Add 0000-upstream-hwdb-keyboard.patch to backport the "keymap" builtin.
    - Add debian/extra/60-keyboard.hwdb (straight copy from upstream master),
      install in debian/udev.install.
    - debian/rules: Configure with --disable-keymap to not build/install the
      old keymap stuff any more.
    - Adds keymap for Samsung NP53U3C (LP: #1203853)
