* New Upstream Release, exception granted by
    - dktrkranz, norsetto, Hobbsee (via irc). LP: #270404

Changes done in ubuntu:

* add libxul-dev to build-depends
* make sure that vlc is build against libxul in configure. This doesn't
  change anything in the package, but makes it more robust if building
  in an 'unclean' chroot or when modifying the package.
* debian/control: make Vcs-* fields point to the motumedia branch
* add libx264-dev and libass-dev to build-depends
  LP: #210354, #199870
* actually enable libass support by passing --enable-libass to configure
* enable libdca: add libdca-dev to build depends and --enable-libdca
* install the x264 plugin.

Changes already in the pkg-multimedia branch in debian:

* don't install usr/share/vlc/mozilla in debian/mozilla-plugin-vlc.install
* new upstream .desktop file now registers flash video mimetype LP: #261567
* add Xb-Npp-Applications to mozilla-plugin-vlc
* remove duplicate entries in debian/vlc-nox.install

  - Add Xb-Npp-.* fields to mozilla-plugin-vlc, for the Firefox plugin
    finder service.

  - Make vlc recommend vlc-plugin-pulse.
  - Install link to plugin in xulrunner 1.9 plugin directory.

  - Build-Depend on libxul-dev rather than iceape-dev.
  - Disable debian/patches/010_iceape.diff.
* Reduce vlc-plugin-pulse dependency to a recommendation, as everything
  now installs recommends by default.
