Does the new upstream fix any of the bugs filed against this package on Launchpad?

Since we're after DIF we generally want some justification for the sync. A new upstream version for a leaf package in Universe before Feature Freeze is a reasonable sync request, so I'm happy to ACK this. In future, though, it's good to explicitly explain why we want to sync - even if that's just as simple as “new upstream version brings interesting fixes/features”.

Gnote 0.7.5 is for the most part just a minor bugfix release with no major changes (see http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnote/0.7/gnote-0.7.5.news), so it should be safe to sync. I'm not sure if this particular release fixes any of the existing bugs filed against gnote, but at the very least, I can confirm that the current version of gnote in Oneiric (0.7.4) fixes LP #510008.

I'll be sure to include an explanation for any future sync requests I make.
