Bug description:
  A new version of Unity's Dash, libunity APIs, the default and new "100
  scopes", with a target date of April 1st for landing in Raring.  The
  rest of Unity (Launcher, Indicators, HUD, etc) will not be affected.

  For reference, the new "smart scope service" and corresponding Unity
  changes was discussed here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/01/30/smart-
  scopes/

  The spec for the "smart scope service" is here:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartScopes1304Spec

  The goal is to have everything ready by April 1st. Until then, a ppa
  will be updated everyday for testing the feature by a group of 5
  people (the ppa will be: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-unity/+archive
  /experimental-certified). Existing tests will be run as per of the
  daily release process. That + the manual testing, we'll have a good
  pick on the quality status before flipping the switch.

  All packages will be prereviewed for NEWing and MIRing.

  Code:

  * Existing packages:
  Unity:
  lp:~unity-team/unity/trunk (will be merged in lp:unity)

  Libunity:
  lp:~unity-team/libunity/libunity-7.0 (will be merged in lp:libunity)

  Apps scope:
  lp:~unity-team/unity-lens-applications/libunity7-compatible

  Files scope:
  lp:~unity-team/unity-lens-files/libunity7-compatible

  Gdrive scope:
  lp:~submarine/unity-scope-gdrive/libunity-7-compatible

  Gwibber scope:
  pending Ken

  Music scope:
  lp:~unity-team/unity-lens-music/libunity7-compatible

  Video scope:
  lp:~unity-team/unity-lens-video/libunity7-compatible

  China music scope:
  lp:~ubuntukylin-members/unity-china-music-scope/unity-china-music-scope

  * New packages:
  Home scope:
  lp:~unity-team/unity-scope-home/trunk (new package, will need a MIR as well as installed by default)

  "100 Scopes":
  New packages, will need MIR as well as installed by default:
  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/tomboy
  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/yahoostock

  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/themoviedb
  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/zotero
  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/evolution
  lp:~submarine/ubuntu-scopes/sshsearch

  This is the list I've been communicated as of 13.03.15

  * Packages that we have to remove for the transition:
  - unity-lens-shopping -> in the home scope service
  - unity-lens-help -> some parts in the unity-scope-yelp and the onlin in the home scope service
  - unity-lens-radios -> if not ported, nuke it
  - unity-lens-vm -> in unity-scope-virtualbox
  - unity-lens-sshsearch - in unity-scope-sshsearch
  - unity-lens-pypi - has some performance issue, will probably just have to drop it
