Bug Description

The unity8-desktop-session package provides a Unity8 Desktop Preview login session that runs on the Mir system compositor. The purpose is to provide a convenient way to test and evaluate upcoming converged Unity functionality on desktop form factors.

The binary package(s) provide appropriate configuration scripts and pull in dependencies to make running Unity8 on the desktop as easy as installing a single package and just logging in.

URL: https://launchpad.net/unity8-desktop-session
License: GPL-3
Notes: The Unity8 environment currently has limited support for desktop applications. That's part of the purpose of this package: an easy-to-use environment to get their apps working with Unity8.

This looks good. A few small things:

 - README, COPYING, INSTALL don't seem to be part of the tarball, so I get
   dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/unity8-desktop-session_1.0.9-0ubuntu1~ppa2.diff.5s2HJi
   dpkg-source: info: you can integrate the local changes with dpkg-source --commit
 - unity8-desktop-session-mir should probably "Archicture: all"
 - The direct dependency on libubuntu-application-api-test1 is not very nice, but as it's required and is not pulled
   in by other packages in the archive, that's fine.
 - If you could run 'update-maintainer' in the directory, it'd fulfil https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField
 - you could add "(LP: #1277244)" to the changelog entry next to "initial release".

Thanks for your work on this.

@Daniel: that package doesn't come from Debian, there shouldn't be a need to update the maintainer info...
