[needs-packaging] fprintd

[Javier Jardón]

fprintd is a D-Bus daemon that offers libfprint functionality over the D-Bus interprocess communication bus. By adding this daemon layer above libfprint, we solve various problems related to multiple applications simulatenously competing for fingerprint readers.

Packaging this solves bug #346083

This software has been packaged in Debian and is now available in Quantal. Therefore, the bug is fixed.

@PauLoX: to request a new version of the package, you should create a new bug report. We would appreciate if you could open a new ticket in the Debian bug tracker, because since the package is fully maintained in Debian, it is the most appropriate place for such requests.
