Please update Quassel to 0.12.4

Hello, thank you for your contribution to Ubuntu (I'm a quassel user myself, so this is extra appreciated :-p)!

However, I see that 0.12.4 is in Debian now. Is there any reason to prefer your package over syncing 0.12.4-2 from Debian? It seems that the Ubuntu delta is no longer applicable.

I don't see any reason not to do that, but I am not really the decider of such things. It looks like the only difference is that the Ubuntu package puts the user in the Kubuntu IRC channel by default. I will ask the people from #kubuntu-devel to comment.

Ok I went through it and I think it was really worth merging to get it more maintainable and syncable from Debian.

Attached is a rough "diff" of what changed. I first generated it by trying to standardize the notations (wrap-and-sort) and then diffing between Debian and Ubuntu (Michael's updated 0.12.4 PPA version). After applying changes and keeping some Ubuntu changes, I modified the diff by hand to remove parts that no longer apply. So it's not a real diff, but what tries to explain what did now change in Ubuntu. The big changelog diff is not in there, they'd be welcome to be hand merged to preserve the Ubuntu history.

If you see anything in this diff that's being removed that should not be removed from Ubuntu, or added that should not be added, then feel free to readd the modifications.

And here attached is the new debdiff between Debian and Ubuntu's new 0.12.4-2ubuntu1

Down from 133524 bytes to 9203 bytes.

(stuck in proposed with the Qt and KDE)
