Just a follow-up...I've found the upstream source for dbus-c++ (turns out I missed its git archive), and I've successfully packaged it. Note that it's NOT lintian clean at the moment. I have no idea about manpages because I don't know what the binaries in dbus-c++-dev do, and the previous maintainer didn't bother including man pages either, so I'm stuck.
https://github.com/Vincent-C/dbus-cplusplus Lintian output is in the README attached to that github repo. It's packaged with a QA upload in mind. Mr. Filoni, you would also have to adopt dbus-c++ and dbus-c++-dev if you still want to adopt Gnote. If you would still like to do so, please feel free to use my work; otherwise, I would just be as willing to adopt both gnote and these dbus packages. :) - Vincent Cheng
