[Tracker] Packages explanation

Hello,

I have wrote some explanation about how tracker is packed rigth now, due
the fact there are some wrong or not to clear info on other website...

I just cut&paste the main snippet from the patch here to have the
security that everything written is right for every distribution and not
only debina/ubuntu

I hope the same type of packaging is used also on Fedora, but I don't
run any fedora system right now, so guys, can you check for me?
Otherwise let me know.

Of course this not apply to gentoo ... :)

thank you.

-- snippet --

The current tracker packages are:

    * tracker -- the daemon/metadatabase indexer
    * tracker-utils -- set of command line to search, tag ....
    * libtrackerclient-dev -- the tracker libraries for development. You
don't have to install it for daily purpose.

All of those have no dependencies related to a Desktop Enviroment and
are the "desktop agnostic part" of tracker. This basicly means you can
install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without installing any gnome-related
dependecies.

    * tracker-search-tool -- the Graphical User Interface to search
using tracker. This has gnome-dependencies
    * libdeskbar-tracker -- The handler for the deskbar applet. This has
all the dependencies as the deskbar applet. (i think you have already
guessed :).)

+The current tracker packages are:
+<ul>
+       <li><strong>tracker</strong> -- the daemon indexer</li>
+       <li><strong>tracker-utils</strong> -- set of command line to search, tag ....</li>
+       <li><strong>libtrackerclient-dev</strong> -- the tracker libraries for development. You don't have to 
install it for daily purpose.</li>
