** Patch added: "Diff of the upstream changelog"
   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39563160/mapnik_0.6.1-0.7.0_changelog.diff

** Description changed:

- Mapnik is one of the main tools used in GIS in both server side and client 
side (thanks to the different bindings). Currently the version included in the 
repository is the 0.6.1, but 0.7.0 is out for some time and it would be great 
to have it included in lucid due the LTS aspect of that release.
- We can also rely on a very present, and active upstream that is following 
bugs directly in launchpad and I have very good intreactions with them.

  The 0.7.0 fixes a lot of bugs that are present in the 0.6.1, as stated
  in the diff of the Upstream's Changelog.
