The safest solution is that I find out what -l flags exactly are needed
for ekiga.  They should be used anyway, sooner or later.  Could you
please make a patch?

Thanks for the help.

If you wish master/trunk, you could use the diff.gz from
http://snapshots.ekiga.net/snapshots/debian/, which use exactly
master/trunk for ptlib, opal and ekiga, and uses -snapshot package
names.  Or you could use the snapshots, even if a bit old.  Please tell
us if you wish to help and what.

But master/trunk is not stable at the moment, so it is not a good idea
to push it into debian (even experimental).

Finally, could you explain the changes in rules (I do not see any
usefulness)?
