BTW this issue was brought up by someone building Fedora packages and
was fixed within a day or so. See
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2008-March/003483.html.
I later found that there already was an ealier patch in the BTS.

Isn't the point of -dev packages to spare people, who don't develop to
have the dev files (and dependencies thereof) on their boxes?
Anyway, is there something the qgis developers can do to support debian
packaging? AFAICS the remaining points are purely debian packaging
related.
