timbl (6.4.4-3) has "libticcutils2-dev | libticcutils-dev" in it's Build-Depends, which is
satisfyable.

This source package has succesfully been build on amd64:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=timbl&arch=amd64&ver=6.4.4-3&stamp=1372635651

timbl has been bin-NMU'd: timbl 6.4.4-3+b1.  I believe this is in order
to deal with http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/ticcutils.html .

To my understanding, this binNMU should produce new installable timbl binary
packages.  No changes to the timbl source package are needed.

I guess this bug can get closed.  Do you agree?

Bye,

Joost
