Onboard update available (version 0.99.0) - debian source for saucy attached

Hi,

Version 0.99.0 of Onboard has just been released. I have packaged it for saucy and I would be glad if you could upload it to the Ubuntu repositories after reviewing the package.

Concerning the review of the package, I would like to point you to two facts:

1) Onboard 0.99.0 does not depend anymore on the python3-virtkey package, because the fonctionalities of the virtkey package has been directly integrated into Onboard. (Thus, you might want to consider removing the virtkey package from the LiveCD and from elsewhere.)

2) Onboard now offers a typing assistant that sports word completion and word prediction:
- To improve the suggestions, Onboard is shipping language models for a few languages.
- The debian packaging of Onboard has been done so, that these language models get packaged into a separate package called onboard-data (3MB).
- onboard-data was previously called onboard-prediction-data; as we released some development versions of Onboard in our PPA with the onboard-prediction-data name, the debianisation contains the code to replace onboard-prediction-data with onboard-data.
- The onscreen keyboard Onboard itself gets packaged as usual into a package called onboard (1MB).
- The onscreen keyboard Onboard works also if the onboard-data package is not installed, however, with a typing assistant giving poorer suggestions.
I can imagine, that you are not including the onboard-data package on the LiveCD to save space. In the debianisation of Onboard 0.99.0 attached to this bug thread, I have put onboard-data into the Recommends of onboard. But I don't know how Recommends are treated on the LiveCD. Could you please pay particular attention to this point when reviewing the package?

To inform you with more details about the changes, here is the relevant part of the debian/changelog:
