Thanks for your work so far! Could I get testing done quickly with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS at https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa ?

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lmms-common lmms

I needed to do a bunch of fixing to get it into buildable form:
- The sources at lp:~israeldahl/ubuntu/trusty/lmms/lmms_1.0.0 didn't correctly match the upstream 1.0.0+bzr2569 from lp:lmms since some patch(es) were incorrectly preapplied (or not preapplied).
- Removed upstream_fixes, as after syncing that particaular fix/file was already included in the orig tarball ie upstream snapshot.
- Added back the one patch from git that was still missing after this all, ie. Fix-broken-command-line-rendering.-Should-always-che.patch

Now what is at lp:~timo-jyrinki/lmms/1.0.0_packaging is good in the senses that a) it builds with bzr bd and PPA, b) orig tarball matches lp:lmms sources correctly, c) all the discussed patches should be included.

I've also double-checked that the orig tarball / lp:lmms bzr2569 matches upstream master branch git commit 255b2a2f49c2c02e728588b2eb3cc8c196468e93, and is essentially 1.0 release with a couple of additional fixes. The Ubuntu packaging in turn adds two more fixes that were not in master at the time of bzr2569.

The package is not lintian clean, but neither is the old package or the one in Debian, so I guess at this point it should be good enough.

If testing is positive, please upload with:
dget https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa/+files/lmms_1.0.0%2Bbzr2569-0ubuntu1.dsc
+ dput. The bzr branch lp:~timo-jyrinki/lmms/1.0.0_packaging suits too.
