Bug#377188: libxevie: strange Build-Depends versioning

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

Package: libxevie
Version: 1:1.0.0-3
Severity: normal

I'm merging libxevie into Ubuntu at the moment, and found this diff:

-Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), libx11-dev (>= 1:6.2.1+cvs.20050615-1), libxext-dev (>= 1:6.4.3-2), x11proto-evie-dev, pkg-config
+Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), libx11-dev (>= 1:0.99.2-1), libxext-dev (>= 1:0.99.1-1), x11proto-evie-dev, pkg-config

Naturally the reduction in Build-Depends versioning made me a little
suspicious. It looks like the epoch is wrong on this: there was never a
libx11-dev 1:0.99.2-1, only 2:0.99.2-1. (The libxext-dev change is due
to Debian having gone backwards in versioning from Ubuntu, so is kind of
our problem, but it would be nice if libxext bumped its epoch to 2 so
that we wouldn't have to carry that diff.)

Thanks,
