[MIR] libexttextcat

[Björn Michaelsen]

Please MIR libexttextcat as it is needed to build LibreOffice -- otherwise LibreOffice would need to use its own build of it increasing installsize.

As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements: Rationale, Security, Quality assurance, UI standards, Dependencies are already covered as no additional code is moved to main -- the same code has been build already inside the LibreOffice package before.
Standards compliance, Maintenance: package is actively maintained by Rene Engelhardt (LibreOffice maintainer) at debian.

Sure, trivially approved because the code was in main before and the packaging is maintained in Debian.

This build-depends on obsolete automake1.7. So the package needs to be fixed to use automake first.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Bjoern uploaded a version to build against automake, promoted.

Seems like libexttextcat depend on and libtextcat package with exactly the same version number. Either we change that (how do we sanely represent a "almost same version" dep without specifying it manually?) or we bump libtextcat up to the same version too.
