yep, I agree with this assessment.

Therefore the appropriate action is to remove this line (and similar ones)
from the packages maintainer scripts. Attached patch does that. Its untested
as I was unable to build the package. Need to see whats causing me trouble
first. I think I'm just lacking disk space or so..

Best Regards,
Patrick
