The latest full release of the NetCDF libs are no cleaner, unfortunately. In
fact, the lastest full release dosn't support shared libs. The Debian package
has hacked in support to build the shared libs.

Okay, the build deps now look like:
Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 5), autotools-dev, gfortran, tex, texi2dvi

I want the package to be sorted before a real -1 release in the debian archive
so that folks installing the pre packages don't have to worry about manually
removing the pre packages to get the real ones. I will collapse the pre
packages into one changelog entry for the -1 release.
