Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected,

Accepted account-plugins into trusty-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-
plugins/0.11+14.04.20140409.1-0ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

Bug description:
  The 1.0 API is being deprecated on April 30, 2015.

  [Impact] Depending on how facebook decides to handle the deprecation,
  there's the possibility that creating facebook accounts from Ubuntu
  Online Accounts will just stop working, if our OAuth request (which
  uses deprecated parameters) gets declined.

  [Test case] Until the deprecation actually takes place, we won't be able to reproduce the bug. According to the Facebook official documentation, the v1.0 API will stop working on April 30th, 2015:
  https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

  [Regression potential] Very low: the new Facebook v2.0 API is already
  active, and we've been using it in Vivid without issues. A quick smoke
  test (just create a Facebook account from the System Settings ->
  Online Accounts pane) is anyway advised, to be absolutely sure.
