Ok, I understand. The build-system of crystalspace seems to be buggy and
the package has other issues related to that. If we really want to keep
this package, it would be nice to support as many features as possible.
On the other hand at the moment there is no application that depends on
crystalspace, so we should also consider to remove libmng-dev from
build-depends until this feature is really needed.

Cheers,

Markus
