Build-depend on "debhelper-compat (= 12)" to replace debian/compat.

iwconfig seems not yet fully replaced though.

Drop patches generated from https://github.com/zeph/wicd commits
again, they're now included.

Refresh remaining patches as needed.

Add new patch just modifying import path for importing wpath in
setup.py.

Update to upstream version '1.7.4+tb2+2019.09.18git2e0ba579'

Now the wicd daemon starts as "/usr/sbin/wicd -c -f -e -o" wihout
errors, only warnings are left.

wicd-curses also runs but spews warnings into the status line, too.

Thanks to Frank Hofmann for the right pointer to
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47838405/porting-a-sub-class-of-python2-file-class-to-python3

Now at least "/usr/sbin/wicd -c -f -e -o" keeps running.

Still throws errors and warnings, though:

  mainloop = gobject.MainLoop()

Daemon still does not start. It fails as follows:

    class LogFile(file):

Also document in debian/changelog some more packaging changes already
committed with 6e305570.

quilt handles this fine, but dpkg bails out immediately.

The patch actually consists of the patches 49523ed..49ad8e4 as
downloaded from

with all hunks removed which do not apply to the wicd tar ball, namely
all hunks which would touch these files:

* .bzrignore

Add patch to fix no autoconnect when GUI is open (#833929)

See merge request !1

In theory wicd can also be used just to switch between multiple static
configurations.

Also closes: #901592

Closes: #852343

Note: The patch is untested and just based on "git grep dhcpcd". Needs
some testing with dhcpcd5 only before uploading.

Update list of alternative DHCP client dependencies so that dhcpcd5 is
listed last instead of first.
