Following your advice, I installed the neurodebian package now. Of course
this would have spotted deboostification leftovers.
Aghermann now builds with the command:
nd_build debian sid aghermann_0.6.0.1-1.dsc
(It had to be a new version because someone has already grabbed 0.6.0 from
sourceforge.)

In my tests, aghermann links and runs fine with libconfig-1.3.2, so I lowered
the requirement for libconfig to that version. I'll try nd_build with oneiric
tomorrow to see if it builds on it.

libconfig++8-dev happens already to depend on version 1.4.8-4 ("Transitional
package for libconfig++-dev"). Anyway, version 1.3 seems good enough, so I
might remove specific version requirement from debian/control just as well.

Meanwhile, here's the lintian issue with the changelogs:
Now running lintian...
W: aghermann: duplicate-changelog-files usr/share/doc/aghermann/ChangeLog.gz
usr/share/doc/aghermann/changelog.gz N:
N: The package appears to be shipping two copies of the changelog.
N:
N: If the second copy is really needed, consider making it a symlink to the
N: canonical place for the relevant changelog.
N:
N: Both upstream and debian changelogs are checked with this tag.
N:
N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N:
N: Check: duplicate-files, Type: binary
N:
Finished running lintian.
The first of these two changelog files comes from debian/changelog. Per
Debian Policy, it is somehow supposed to be transformed into
changelog.Debian.gz. As the handling of debian/changelog is done by some of
the dh_* scripts, I don't seem to have it under my control. Or am I wrong?
Sorry for the FTBFS; should be the last time now I have fully grasped the
meaning of "clean build".
Cheers,
Andrei
