[Bug 1291899] [NEW] Feature Freeze exception for KDE SC 4.13

[Jonathan Riddell]

Public bug reported:

The Kubuntu team would like to  ship with KDE SC 4.13 in Trusty.

Due to KDE's realigned schedule for the software compilation this no
longer fits in easily with the Ubuntu release schedule getting its final
tag on April 9th the day before final freeze.

To start with we'd like to upload 4.13 Beta 1 today.

A list of new features can be found at 
http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.13_Feature_Plan

The only new package is astrometry.net needed by kstars to do image
recognition of a photo of the sky.

Marble gets an ABI bump and adds its own libastro, its own astronomy
library.

The biggest new feature is the change from Nepomuk semantic and search
engine to Baloo.  This is far more reliable and simple.  It means
dropping virtuoso as a database and swapping to xapian which is much
more light weight and usable.  Most applications have been ported to
Baloo and we expect to drop Nepomuk features from those which have not
which are currently Amarok, Digikam and Plasma Media Centre.
