Public bug reported:

Anki emits a warning to standard out the first time
/usr/share/anki/anki/deck.py:

/usr/share/anki/anki/deck.py:3597: SAWarning: Unicode column received
non-unicode default value.

This is confusing to users who launch Anki from the command line, and is
trivially fixed by changing the relevant line of deck.py from:

    Column('name', UnicodeText, nullable=False, default=""),

to:

    Column('name', UnicodeText, nullable=False, default=unicode("")),

This also causes unnecessary output for third-party tools that use Anki,
like launchpad.net/space.

This is a regression from Ubuntu 11.10.

It's necessary for this bug to be fixed in Ubuntu, since the Anki
maintainer has announced that he won't be supporting Anki 1.x versions
after Anki 2 is released.
