brltty 5.0-2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

brltty (5.0-2ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Add brltty-setup, installed in both the udeb and the normal system.
    - Add initramfs integration to run brltty-setup if necessary before
      usplash starts.
    - Add ubiquity integration to propagate any brltty configuration to the
      target system.
    - Add udev rules and /lib/brltty/brltty.sh to the normal (non-udeb)
      package as well.
    - Enable brltty if /etc/default/brltty has RUN_BRLTTY=yes, which is set
      by the installer if brltty is configured; add a NEWS entry for
      upgraders.
    - Don't install /etc/brltty.conf in the package
    - Install udev rules with the same name (85-brltty.rules) in the udeb as
      in the deb.
    - Remove the dh-lisp build-dependency, remove the cl-brlapi package, and
      adjust the brltty package description accordingly. dh-lisp is not
      in main.
    - Enable brltty at startup on the target system if the alternate installer
      is used.
    - Create separate rules file for the brltty deb, with the rules now
      pointing to a separate script
    - Add gbp.conf file for git buildpackage
    - Do not build the at-spi driver, the legacy at-spi stack is no longer in
      the archive.
    - Drop explicit build dependency on tcl8.4.
