[MIR] whoopsie-preferences

[Evan]

This is a main inclusion request for whoopsie-preferences, a DBus daemon to control the enabled flag in /etc/default/whoopsie and obtaining the system identifier (either the SHA512 of the system UUID or the MAC address of the first network interface) to form the final part of the URL that displays a system's error reports.

This package will be used by activity-log-manager and ubuntu-system-settings. The code previously existed in activity-log-manager, which is already in main, but I've factored it out so that we could use it in ubuntu-system-settings.

~daisy-pluckers maintains it.

I've subscribed foundations-bugs to all bugs about the whoopsie-preferences package.

Please move the .so file from the library to the dev package.

And maybe deal with the symbols-declares-dependency-on-other-package lintian warning. I'd guess that you want to change the symbols file dependency to be on the library package itself and add a dep on whoopsie-preferences to the library package.

But besides that, looks fine. The code itself can skip normal security auditing concerns, since it's been in main for a while. Would be nice to see some tests, but not a blocker.

I fixed the lintian errors as 0.6:
