[mir] libpeas

1. Availability - already packaged & builds in Ubuntu universe since Maverick & Debian experimental

2. Rationale - libpeas is a library to add C, Python, and JS extensibility to Gnome 3 apps. As explained at http://log.istique.net/2010/announcing-libpeas some Gnome 2 apps had an earlier form of this functionality but it was not implemented as a library and so could not be easily added to other apps.

As such, it is already a dependency of gedit, eog, and totem, with more likely.

3. Security - Since this is now part of Gnome, we can expect security updates as needed from Gnome. There are no known security bugs:
