[Needs packaging] Qmamecat ubuntu package

[sergio]

as kxmame (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kxmame/) is not developed any more, qt's (4.x) most interesting and evolving frontend for mame is going to be qmamecat 2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmc2/). It actually needs packaging.

@mmbossoni, do you finally intent to adapt your PPA packages for direct inclusion in Ubuntu repositories?
