** Description changed:

- Ubuntu 13.04 contains 2 packages with the same software:
+ Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 contain 2 packages with the same software:
  
- - jplayer: Ubuntu-only package, contains an old version (1.2.0). It was also 
available in 12.10.
- - libjs-jquery-jplayer + jquery-jplayer-bluemonday + jquery-jplayer-pinkflag: 
the Debian package (which I'm the maintainer of), contains a newer version 
(2.1.0, to be updated this week due to a security fix). It has become available 
in 13.04.
+ - jplayer: Ubuntu-only package, contains an old version (1.2.0). This package 
has been available since 11.10.
+ - libjs-jquery-jplayer + jquery-jplayer-bluemonday + jquery-jplayer-pinkflag: 
the Debian package (which I'm the maintainer of), contains a newer version 
(2.1.0, to be updated this week due to a security fix). This package was first 
available in 12.10.
  
  IMHO, jPlayer should be provided with the libjs-jquery-jplayer package
  and the 'jplayer' package be reduced to a transitional package.
  
  The transition plan would be like this:
- - I will add to libjs-jquery-jplayer these fields: "Replaces: jplayer (<< 
2.1.0~)" and "Conflicts: jplayer (<< 2.1.0~)" and maintain them at least until 
Ubuntu 12.10 runs ouf of support.
- - You will add to jplayer this field: "Depends: libjs-jquery-jplayer". This 
package needs to be separately maintained because I will not be providing it in 
Debian (it is not required and violates the archive policy).
