v0.0.5 on it's way to devel, and I will promote it right away to testing.

Technical explanation of the problem

The upstart job file /etc/event.d/oobProfileDaemon was installed as a debian conffile

I had been testing oobProfile on my phone and I did not purge but rather remove between subsequent tests so the conffile stayed where it was after removing (my error)

Qt creator publishing wizard does not include files without extension in the package for the autobuilder (Qt creators error)

When installing from the repository, the conffile was there so upstart did not complain and I thought all was ok but in reality there was no upstart job file in the package

Solution: added extension .conf to the upstart job. It looks a bit out of place but it saves the hassle of creating your own source package each time.

Note to other devs or if you want to manually start or stop oobProfile:
use
Code:
  /sbin/initctl start oobProfileDaemon.conf
and not
Code:
  /sbin/initctl start oobProfileDaemon
as you would in harmattan

(harmattan upstart ignores the extension)
