[Xastir] Deb package for Ubuntu 10.04

[Lee Bengston]

Just a quick caution - I haven't tested installing the new binary
package when the older one (1.94) is already installed.  Just to be
safe, I would back up any of your own maps as suggested in some of the
HowTo's:

 mkdir /tmp/maps
 cp -r /usr/share/xastir/maps/* /tmp/maps

Regards,
Lee
