Hi Emilio,

I'm ready. I've released and picked upstream version v0.15.7 as it
contains quite important security fixes found by Coverity and a security
researcher. So we'll jump from 0.13-1 to 0.15.7-1.

I've prepared the new Debian packaging commits here:

https://github.com/sriemer/scanmem-debian/commits/master

Then I've gathered and extracted the upstream tarball and run
'debuild -S' to provide the .dsc file to you:

https://github.com/sriemer/scanmem-debian/tree/source

I've built this for "testing" and "unstable" for i386 and amd64 in local
sbuild environments in the branches "unstable-amd64", "unstable-i386",
"testing-amd64" and "testing-i386".

Lintian is only still warning about the fact that libscanmem is not
provided in a separate package. It is only there for better backend
communication for GameConqueror. So this can be ignored.

I've tested scanmem and GC in fresh Debian "testing" VMs for amd64 and
i386 with GNOME and MATE for now. All the upstream test cases have been
passed. The packages are working like a charm and as expected. :-) No
files are missing in the .deb packages and the GC icon is visible right
away after installation. :-)

This is done. Please use the "source" branch, build the packages from
there and upload the new version.

Thanks!
Sebastian
