Hi,

Increasing the version of ekiga-snapshot does not work.

There are two solutions:
- either stay as we are now.  Note that only gnome-desktop-environment 
is removed (+old pwlwib/opal), not 47 packages!!
- or do not use ekiga-snapshot anymore, but ekiga (while ptlib and opal 
are still named -snapshot, to avoid soname problems).  Note that this 
will not be intrusive or conflict with debian package, because the 
version will be carefully chosen.

What do people prefer??
