I just noticed that you made changes to the debian/sid branch on alioth
that conflict with my dh sequencer work in debian/{rules,control}:

    https://github.com/agx/zarafa-debian/tree/WiP/dh-sequencer

Doing the switch to dh removes lots of code and makes us get things
right without having to open code for it (like calling ldconfig). I
won't have time to merge this with your work _and_ test it in the
upcoming weeks so maybe you want to pull this in?

Some minor things I noticed when looking at the new commits:

* Better use debian/<pkg>.links instead of creating them via ln. There's
  far too much open coded stuff in debian/rules already, we should not
  extend on this one.

* I wonder wether the Conflict: or the Breaks: zarafa (<< 7.2) is
  correct (or necessary at all). What was the reason for changing this?
  
I also started to switch to dh 9 (so we get hardening flags, etc. for
free too) but continuing on this wone doesn't make sense until the rest
is merged.

Cheers,
