Thanks for the patch!

utouch-geis 1.0.13 doesn't currently build on Natty due to linker
changes - I've attached the build log (see
http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking for more information). Can
you please update your build system to link against the appropriate
libraries?

Also, there should only be a single debian/changelog entry for each time
the package was uploaded to Debian or Ubuntu, so please compress the
1.0.12 and 1.0.13 entries into a single entry. That entry should also be
targeted to natty instead of UNRELEASED.

I'd also be happy to work with you on an SRU for Maverick, once we've
gotten the package up to date in Natty. However, we prefer as a rule to
limit patches in SRUs to the minimal patch necessary to fix the bug(s)
to minimize the potential for regression. In this case, I think that
would be the loop condition change, the -version-info change, and the
extern "C" change, but not the error string changes, and probably not
the autoconf version number changes, since we'd no longer actually be
shipping 1.0.13 (instead this would be a "distro patch" on top of
1.0.11). The "minimal patch" also wouldn't include any linker changes
needed to get utouch-geis to build on Natty, since Maverick doesn't have
the DSO linking changes.

If that's OK with you, it would be great if you could prepare a debdiff
for a version 1.0.11-0ubuntu1.1, targeted at maverick-proposed (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update%20the%20packaging
for more information about the version number).

I've unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors for now, but feel free to re-subscribe
them once you have a debdiff that's ready for sponsorship.
