Bug Description
[Impact]
The new geis package is a rename of the utouch-geis package, due to the upstream project being renamed. This package is a branch of upstream 2.2.9, the last version to be released on precise.
The XCB backend has been removed because it was dead code and the only alternative would be to excise references to uTouch for no gain. The backend has already been removed upstream.
[Test Case]
Build package in pbuilder chroot.
[Regression Potential]
Very minor. The upstream merge renames files and symbols. A number of bugs were also fixed in the upstream merge.
