debian/guest-account: disable screen locking in a more reliable way.
Rather than trying to write a key for another user, while setting up the
guest user account, just set up an autostart desktop that will set it
during the login (lp: #951000)

    in a second display while still showing the greeter.

* Drop XS-Testsuite header. We don't actually have any autopkgtests right
  now (they are commented out in debian/tests/control and are broken).
* Install some files in liblightdm-qt-dev, so it's somewhat useful.
* Switch to unversioned -dev package for liblightdm-qt to match Debian and
  avoid having to change other packages synced from Debian
* Swtich Conflicts to Breaks and add liblightdm-qt-3-dev to Breaks/Replaces
* Cherry-pick patches from upstream to fix liblightdm-qt{,5} pcfiles.
* Refresh patches to apply cleanly

10. By Robert Ancell on 2013-05-02

* debian/patches/04_language_options.patch:
  - Applied upstream

    accountsservice as patched for Ubuntu does not contain a valid
    locale name.

9. By Robert Ancell on 2013-04-30

* New upstream release:
  - Use logind instead of ConsoleKit if it is available

* debian/control:
  - liblightdm-qt-2 -> liblightdm-qt-3
* debian/patches/06_qt_no_keywords.patch:

  provides.
