[Debian-med-packaging] libssw include-binaries (was: backporting libssw - autopkgtest fails on jessie)

[Afif Elghraoui]

Hello,

For some reason, I can't find the communications between Sascha and
Andreas about the libssw issue in my email.

Then I see from

OK, good to know. I think I'll see if I can do something about the
output problem in the example tool to stop this from happening, and then
forward my fix upstream. Later today, after work.

All I can say about my setup is that I'm using Stable with sbuild from
backports. Maybe my older dpkg is more strict, since this happens in the
clean stage before entering the chroot.

Thanks and regards
Afif
