heads up: libcitygml build failure in raspbian may indicate issue in debian.

[peter green]

Ok I screwed up, the reason I got different errors in my test chroot was 
because I was mistakenly testing with an older version of libcitygml. Of 
course I only discovered this when I actually uploaded the hacked-up 
package to raspbian and it got rejected as being older than the version 
already there.

And strangely 2+3p2p1 built fine in my test chroot despite failling 
twice on our autobuilders.
