Backport hplip

I needed a newer version of hpijs to support a new printer.

Notes to sort:

- PENSER D'ABORD À REGARDER CE QU'A FAIT LE MAINTENEUR PRÉCÉDENT!!!!!!
dget http://backports.org/debian/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip_0.9.7-3bpo1.dsc
dpkg-source -x hplip_0.9.7-3bpo1.dsc
debian/changelog:
  * Backport of sid release 0.9.7-4 (no changes needed)
-> Last backport was trivial. Let's hope this one will be as well :)

- apt-get build-dep complains about libsnmp9-dev missing... Weird.
Switching libsnmp9-dev | libsnmp5-dev to libsnmp5-dev | libsnmp9-dev in /var/lib/apt/... does the trick.

- missing python-support
-> apparently related to the new python policy. A recent discussion on the list concluded that it is best not to follow the new python policy and hence avoid requiring a backported python.

Comment the 'dh_pysupport' call in debian/rules.

- use debhelper/bpo, change debhelper (>= 5.0.37.2, needed for the new
  Python policy version) to debhelper (>= 5.0)


- debuild -us -uc
=> unknown option -U
(option -U, from debian/patches/00patch-opts)

need to use patch/bpo
-> fix build-deps
patch (>= 2.5.9-3bpo1)

- debuild -us -uc
=> xargs: invalid option -- d

need to use findutils/bpo
-> fix build-deps:
findutils (>= 4.2.28-1~bpo.1)

- After installation:
hp-print --help
error: This program may not function properly with the version of PyQt that is installed (3.13.0).
error: Incorrect version of pyQt installed. Ver. 3.14 or greater required.
error: PyQt/Qt initialization error. Please check install of PyQt/Qt and try again.

-> TODO, need to fix build-dep and backport pyqt
# apt-cache policy pyqt-tools
pyqt-tools:
  Installed: 3.13-4
  Candidate: 3.13-4
  Version Table:
     3.16-1.2 0
         -1 http://terre testing/main Packages
 *** 3.13-4 0
        500 http://terre sarge/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Qt is not much used in this package, and it's only 3.14 vs. 3.13. It
seems that we can safely downgrade the requirement to 3.13 in
base/g.py.


- MENTIONNER DEBI!!!

hplip (1.6.7-2~bpo.1) sarge-backports; urgency=low

  * Rebuild for Sarge - http://www.backports.org/
  * Added dependencies to patch/bpo and findutils/bpo
  * Downgraded pyqt-utils dependency from 3.14 to 3.13 (works ok)
  * Removed Python-policy-related python-support dependency and a
    dh_pysupport call.
