Enable support for -Wl,--as-needed in all ltmain.sh files identical
to the one of the libtool package. This only works in the MD5 mode
(the default one). The changes are reverted in dh_autoreconf_clean.
You should not prevent LIBTOOLIZE from running with this, as it
only works correctly with libtoolize running.
Although that might create other problems ... who knows?

Umpf, why is *biber* build ... I have to check on that ... it actually
should not be included ... it is a problematic thing since binaries are shipped
in texlive-bin!

Known, and AFAIR fixed in the sources of TeX Live svn recently.
Will come in as soon as I make final packages for TL2012 ... later.
