[Debian-med-packaging] Adding libkmc-dev to the kmc package

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks! I will take a look later when I have some free time off work.

Uh... I'm afraid I don't have much experience with that tool but will
read the documentation and let it convince me ;)

IMHO that would be the cleanest solution, yes. Any other comments?

Much appreciated! :)
