The old build log continued like this:

-- OpenCV_FOUND. true
-- OpenCV_LIBS. /usr/lib/libcxcore.so;/usr/lib/libcv.so;/usr/lib/libml.so;/usr/lib/libhighgui.so;/usr/lib/libcvaux.so
-- OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIR. /usr/include/opencv

I noticed that the new version of libcv-dev in unstable is lacking the
header file in question.  So I'm CCing the maintainer as well as
debian-mentors in case I can get any other help how to fix this problem.
