I prepared a merge for GPK, too. Unfortunately my upload to the ppa
contains a typo (yelp-utils instead yelp-tools).

gnome-packagekit (3.8.2-4ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

   * Merge from Debian Unstable. Remaining changes:
     + Drop obsolete python-packagekit-gtk package
     + Drop build dependency on obsoleted gtk-doc-utils and
libapt-pkg-dev
     + Replace build dependecy on gnome-doc-utils by yelp-tools
     + Raise version of the libglib2.0-dev build dependency
     + Alternatively depend on aptdaemon's PackageKit compatibility layer

So we would just sync Listaller from Debian. It is ok if it depends on
packagekit. It is not the purpose of aptdaemon to provide a complete
replacement for PackageKit. We just want to use the normal client
libraries.

Cheers!
