Apologies for replying to myself but I just checked the Debian bugs
and there's an issue 713796
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=713796) which
mentions the same text. Therefore the package doesn't seem to build
anymore.
I'll try and figure out why and make a more meaningful change to this
package. If the issue is obvious please let me know.
cheers,
Stephen
