+- Drop branding-upstream subpackage: starting with openSUSE 13.1,
+  we will no longer replace the gimp splashcreen with a branded

-%description branding-upstream
-The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image
-composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for
-creating logos and other graphics for Web pages.  The GIMP offers many
-of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial
-offerings and contains some interesting extras as well. The GIMP
-provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel
-operations and layers, effects, subpixel imaging and antialiasing, and
-conversions- all including multilevel undo. The GIMP offers a scripting
-facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot
-distribute.
-
-This package contains the upstream splash screen for the GIMP.
