Bug#670733: Some remarks

[Romain Beauxis <romain.beauxis@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I just discovered this bug. I also wrote the configure test. The bug
extends to all ocaml bindings released with liquidsoap 1.0.0

I agree that the configure test is naive, but it relies on reasonable
and documented behaviours and variables.

While it may be quicker for the release to patch those configure
scripts, I strongly suggest fixing pbuilder instead.

As such, there is nothing wrong with that test and it is my belief
that the fix should be applied where it makes sense, that is to set
the correct USER env. variable in pbuilder.

This incorrect pbuilder behaviour appears here but may appear later in
other contexts where it may be more tricky to spot...

It's your guys call, but I don't think that we'll change the upstream
behaviour, unless more information/arguments surface.

Romain
