Followup-For: Bug #917700
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu disco ubuntu-patch

Hello,

FWIW, no new upstream version is required in order to fix this build
failure, it's a trivial change to debian/control to drop the versioned -dev
package names leaving only the unversioned ones.

I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu to fix the bug there.  But since
there is a comment suggesting that this may not be worth maintaining in
Debian and should be removed, I have not uploaded an NMU.
