[Fluxus] ubuntu gutsy packages

[Artem Baguinski]

OK, i figured this out as I was updating the packaging to 0.14b1

The problem is my package installs resources into
/usr/share/fluxus/material/... while scratchpad expects them in
/COLLECTS-PATH/fluxus-VERSION/material/...

I think the path I'm looking for is the right one for things like
textures etc, while fonts should be used from the OS (at least in a
packaged version, it's OK to keep BitsreamVeraMono in source tarball
version).

For now I'll just patch fluxus to look for bundled font in directory i
install it to, but lintian complains and ubuntu people would when I'll
start pushing fluxus into the  distribution. So I'll be fixing this in
the future version of the package.

I hope to upload 0.14b1 for gutsy into my PPA by tonight (if my son
will decide to have a midday sleep :)
