Hi Ondřej,

thanks for your heads up about the upcoming change.

I wonder whether this is a false positive:

$ apt-cache showsrc emboss | grep gd2
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), quilt, libx11-dev, x11proto-core-dev, libgdchart-gd2-xpm-dev, zlib1g-dev, libpng-dev, libexpat1-dev, libhpdf-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, libpq-dev, antiword, sharutils, autotools-dev, tcsh | csh | c-shell, dh-autoreconf, default-jdk

lists libgdchart-gd2-xpm-dev instead of libgd2-xpm-dev which is a
different source package and there is no similar change announced by its
maintainer announced yet (even if I guess he will follow).  See below.

Both changed in SVN

I guess once this package will be changed we will need to follow with
emboss.

Thanks for your work on this
