[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#822737: praat: change linking order to fix FTBFS with ld --as-needed

[vagrant]

Package: praat
Version: 6.0.15-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, we use ld --as-needed by default in the toolchain, and your
package fails to build from source with that option enabled because of the
way libraries are linked.

Even though Debian doesn't use ld --as-needed by default, it is a good idea
to make this change so that (1) we don't have to maintain a delta and (2)
you don't need to change anything in case Debian makes this default in the
future.

You can read more about this option here:
https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/rules: Change linking order for sendpraat to fix FTBFS with ld
    --as-needed.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
