Well, did you realised that Debian Med is celebrating Christmas in a big
bug squashing party. (just poking ;-))  What kind of uncommon celebration
habits do you entertain in Strasbourg if not squashing bugs? :-P

I have seen the changelog entry that claims to fix the bug, but from
what I have seen in the Makefile this is probably not everything - feel
free to drop my patch if I was wrong.  I (now) can confirm that it
builds on amd64.

Perhaps this is some of the reasons I always ignored svn-buildpackage.
I always need to remember some options which makes things complicated to
somebody like me with a small memory.

Hmmm, I was using "git clone".  Do you think that this is suboptimal
compared to debcheckout?

While I would really like to come back to Strasbourg again it is quite a
travel from my home and thus I will not take this chance to meet.

Kind regards
