Re: trivial patch for debian/control typo

["Øystein Gisnås" <oystein gisnas net>]

I don't quite see the point of having a make-orig-source target. Isn't
the source created by default good enough? When the packages are based
on proper (pre-)releases, the whole problem goes away. For me it looks
a bit over-engineered, but probably I just don't see the use-case.

Which brings me on to versions. Why is version 1.0.0 used in
configure.in if it might be changed to 0.x one day? In my opinion it's
better to fix that or stick with 1.0.0~svn.... if the versions never
will be lowered.

The scripts itself look fancy enough, but they don't compile with me.
I think the problem is that ./autogen.sh always has exit status 1
which leads 'make' to back out.

Thomas is right about >= typo and mozilla build-deps. Well spotted!

Do you have a suggestion for how to split the libraries? One .so file
in each package and a corresponding -dev? What other things did you
miss in the -dev package?
