So I updated my laptop to Kubuntu 13.04, and realized this was still 
outstanding.

I've put in a request to merge the 4.5.13 release into ubuntu/eric, but 
I'm not sure if that will actually happen, as ubuntu/eric appears to 
just be a debian mirror (i.e. not an ubuntu-specific branch).

I didn't try to work on Eric5, as it's taken far too long just to get a 
working updated build (the secret is that bzr merge-upstream doesn't 
merge anything but watched files, so you have to manually unpack the 
translation files).

Enjoy,
Mike
