hmm, the current package gives me 43 lintian issues (2 errors, 11
warnings, 24 informational and 4 experimental), see attached file.

i have already fixed a few of those in git, but there is still a largish
number to be done before the package is ready for upload.

obviously the errors must be fixed and there is a strong suggestion to
fix the warnings.

apart from that:
- the libags-1.0.pc seems weird: there are duplicate entries, and it
adds /usr/local/ paths to both include and library search paths. i'm
pretty sure that this is wrong.
it also adds include-paths and libraries for quite a number of graphic
libraries (from cairo to png) - i wonder whether they are really needed
to use libags.

- is there a specific reason to have the version encoded in library
names rather than the sonames (e.g. libags-1.0.so.0.0.0 rather than
libags.so.0.1.0)?

- since the package is now split into multiple binary packages, why are
the libraries shipped in the gsequencer package (rather than in libags
and/or libgsequencer).

- the gsequencer-dev-doc ships
> usr/share/doc/gsequencer-dev-doc
> usr/share/doc/libgsequencer-0.7.x-doc
> usr/share/doc/libgsequencer-0.7.x
the last two seem to be out of place

there's probably more, but let's fix those first.
