Liblemon created a longish discussion about copyright of autogenerated
files in binary packages but finally it hit unstable.  The bad news is
that cufflinks does not build with this library.  May be I should not
have choosen master branch but I commited my changes to Git with a
rebuilt tarball (without the liblemon copy) and tried to build against
the Debian packaged version.  I also informed upstream about the issue
but got no response from here.

I have no idea how to step forward from here to upload a new version of
cufflinks that does not explicitly depends vrom libboost 1.60. :-(

Any helpful suggestion?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
