[FFe] Sync gnome-activity-journal 0.5.0+tb1-1 from Debian experimental

[Siegfried Gevatter]

Binary package hint: gnome-activity-journal

Maverick currently includes a old release of the GNOME Activity Journal, which is quite different from the latest upstream release, doesn't work with the Zeitgeist version shipped in Maverick (bug #574207) and has quite a number of crash reports.

Therefore, I'd like to ask for a Feature Freeze exception to include the latest version of GAJ, as available in Debian experimental (it's not in unstable due to the freeze, but unstable also has a much more recent version than Ubuntu).

Here are the relevant changelog entries:

gnome-activity-journal (0.5.0+tb1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Some of the changes since the last snapshot are:
     - Improved start-up time and responsiveness.
     - Better support for Tomboy and websites.
     - Removed the "minimal mode" and "tray icon" extensions.
  * debian/control:
     - Bump minimum Zeitgeist version to 0.4.0+bzr20100718~.
     - Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
  * Add debian/source/format with "3.0 (quilt)" and a patch to disable the
    Zeitgeist-version check (debian/patches/disable-version-check).

Since the current version doesn't work seems upgrade would be better, ack from me then you can upload the update
