System-dependent libraries X programs must link with



There friends,

This a "just in case" question.

I am packaging fkiss (see #106140). It was finally released under GPL
(yeeha!).

I see that in  configure, upstream checks:

    # Martyn.Johnson@cl.cam.ac.uk says this is needed for Ultrix, if the X
    # libraries were built with DECnet support.  And karl@cs.umb.edu says
    # the Alpha needs dnet_stub (dnet does not exist).
    echo $ac_n "checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet""... $ac_c" 1>&6
    echo "configure:1794: checking for dnet_ntoa in -ldnet" >&5
    ac_lib_var=`echo dnet'_'dnet_ntoa | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`
    if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var'+set}'`\" = set"; then
      echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6
    else
      ac_save_LIBS="$LIBS"
    LIBS="-ldnet  $LIBS"
    cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF

¿(How) should I handle this?
¿Should I build-depend/suggest/whatever on dnet at all?
dnet-common - Base package for Linux DECnet
dnet-progs - DECnet user programs and daemons

The program works without this, but I am on:
~-amaya@aenima>dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE
i386-linux

Thank you for any imput.
