Hi all
 It would be nice to use ubuntu/quickly to create applications for
other systems but ubuntu-applications depend on some ubuntu specific
packages. On #quickly jo-erlend said he tried this on maemo but
couldn't meet the dependencies. I'm expecting a new tool at work
that's designed for redhat and has no gui.

Proposal #1
Simplify ubuntu-application until it runs on the pygtk family only and have
quickly add preferences (desktopcouch)
quickly add launchpad (python-launchpad-integration)
quickly add help-files (yelp)

Proposal #2
Make the root template gtk-application and make ubuntu-application
descend from it like this

gtk-application
|_gnome-application
    |_ubuntu-application

The dependencies could be

gtk-application
Depends: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), python-support (>= 0.90.0),
python-gtk2, python-gobject

gnome-application
Depends: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), python-support (>= 0.90.0),
python-gtk2, python-gobject, yelp

ubuntu-application
Depends: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6), python-support (>= 0.90.0),
python-gtk2, python-gobject, python-launchpad-integration,
desktopcouch, yelp

Note currently python-distutils-extra is also a dependency but this is
a bug fixed for Natty.
