 The issue is that libavc1394-dev and libraw1394-dev are only available
 under Linux (not on Hurd or kFreeBSD), so 1) the build-deps should be
 conditional (this is done already) and 2) the deps of libquicktime-dev
 should be conditional too.

 The trick implemented here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=libquicktime.diff;att=1;bug=372467
 permits defining a substvar when the kernel is Linux and use that in
 the libquicktime deps.  What you should do here is:
 - check whether the libquicktime-dev deps are correct (they are empty
   right now, this might not be correct) or fix them
 - if you added some Linux-specific dependencies in this process, you
   should move them to a substvar like the original patch did

 Hmm not sure what to do about this: did all applications build against
 the experimental versions which did not have this header?


 There is another issue which just popped up, why did you:
  * debian/patches/02-install-in-libquicktime1.dpatch:
    + Disabled.
  * debian/control:
    + Replace (and conflict with) libquicktime0.

 It's expected that you can install multiple shared library in parallel.
