Please backport jq 1.2-8 (universe) from saucy to precise, quantal, raring.

Reason for the backport:
========================
jq is a powerful command-line JSON processor.
 - with detailed manual
   http://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/
 - it's also mentioned in OpenStack Operations Guide:
   http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-ops/content/lay_of_the_land.html#curl

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d precise jq
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d quantal jq
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d raring jq

* precise:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] jq installs cleanly and runs
* quantal:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] jq installs cleanly and runs
* raring:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] jq installs cleanly and runs
