Hi Vincent,

thanks for taking your time to review the package.

I thought that someone who had already downloaded freeciv-data version
2.4.1-1 could avoid further downloads and thus save bandwidth. Since the
arch:all package doesn't change from 2.4.1-1 to 2.4.1-2, it doesn't
matter which version of the same source package is installed. Using (=
${source:Version}) is more strict and forces a download every time.

That's right. Here I simply left the line in question intact because I
wasn't sure whether the package is affected by

http://bugs.debian.org/698765

and whether dh-autoreconf is really a superset of autotools_dev in this
case.

True. I forwarded this patch upstream yesterday.
