thanks

Hi Graham,

thanks for your fix. I have committed it and it will be fixed by the next
upload. Regarding your question of including those packages into
Depends section of gerris. As far as I know, it is possible to use
gerris without compiler and in a serial mode, so in this case those
packages are not really needed.

I may be wrong, CC-ing upstream author for a more qualified answer.

Thanks

Anton
