4.2.1-4pre5v1 really needs a better g++ build dependency



Hi Branden,

I built your 4.2.1-4pre5v1 packages on my computer that has a mixed 
testing/unstable system. I didn't make the gcc transition (the old gcc 
and g++ packages are still installed). After compiling 4.2.1-4pre5v1 
with all build dependencies fullfilled I get the following package:

<--  snip  -->

 Package: xlibmesa3-glu
 Version: 4.2.1-4pre5v1
 Section: libs
 Priority: optional
 Architecture: i386
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-15)
 Conflicts: libglu1
 Replaces: mesag3 (<< 5.0.0-1), xlibmesa3
 Provides: libglu1
 Installed-Size: 660
 Maintainer: Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>
 Source: xfree86
 Description: Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree86]
...

<--  snip  -->


Ryan's mail to debian-devel-announce [1] says:

...
     * If you maintain a library written in C++:
...
          + If you are building for libqt3 or don't depend on libqt in
            any way:
...
               o Ensure that you're using g++-3.2 to build. You should
                 have g++ (>= 2:3.2) installed on the system you build
                 on.
