Exactly right.

I only want the ability for admins to use the -k option.
I don't want this option enabled by default.
But the current build does not allow the -k option, because
bacula-fd is not linked with libcap-dev.

So my only request is: Please build with libcap-dev. Admins
can then change /etc/default/bacula-fd on their own.

I *think* this should be as easy as adding libcap-dev to
Build-Depends: in the config?


Cheers
