Hi bmhm,
I think it is a great idea to package gnome-globalmenu for ubuntu, thank you a lot for your work on it.
But I've had a look on the ppa-packages and I had to recognize that they are unfortunately not "real" debian-packages, that means they do not obey FHS and gconf-schema is not installed properly, empty -dev and -doc packages are created etc. Furthermore gnome-globalmenu is not a native debian package, that means you'll need to create an orig.tar.gz and an diff.gz package. (at least these things are true for the intrepid package for 0.7.4 which unfortunatly is not the upstream tarball,too.) Please do not understand me wrong, I do not want to criticize your work but make suggestions to improve it.
If you don't have the time to fix it, please contact me. I've been playing around with the package recently (I've actually packaged it for myself on jaunty, but not uploaded to my ppa to not interfer with your efforts), so this shouldn't be a problem (at least for builds on << jaunty, because official tarball does not compile with vala 0.5.7. A fix would be to compile it with vala 0.6.0 on jaunty, which I can upload to my ppa if vala-team has no resources to do so).
Regards,
Gert
