Subject: binutils-dev dependency problem...

Hi,
I have a package 'fenris', which depends on libbfd. The problem is it
depends on the EXACT version of the library:

alpha@mentat:~$ ldd which fenris
        libbfd-2.12.90.0.1.so => /usr/lib/libbfd-2.12.90.0.1.so
(0x40049000)
...

and my package has to depend on exactly the same version of
binutils-dev (containing libbfd) - which causes problems when new
version enters the archive:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=158246&repeatmerged=yes

Moreover, binutils-dev description says:

   "Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd
   is Not Allowed."

So what should I do to fix the problems? Link whole package staticaly??
Thanks in advance for your help...

Regards
alpha@debian.org
