I'm not sure, which is why I was asking. I can see two arguments - one that we should just move on from the broken version(s) of the library, and another that the packaging should be made robust enough that it doesn't try to accidentally build against a known broken version of the library (i.e., fixing Build-Depends to be more strictly versioned). Both arguments make sense to me, but I'll leave it up to RMs to decide which is better for the archive. Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
