Well, I considered that but decided against it.  I'd like to believe
that gcc 3.3 will fix its regressions and I can just yank this patch,
which seems less disruptive to me than hacking up debian/control to B-D
on gcc-3.2 and B-C gcc-3.3, which would also keep xlibmesa-glu from
being built against libstdc+5-3.3.

Maybe if comments were supported in debian/control files I'd feel
differently.  :)

Honestly, it seems to me pretty close to "six of one, half-a-dozen of
another".  I picked this approach in full awareness of the alternative.

I'm willing to listen to arguments for change, though.
