Well, I was surprised to see that CG and view3dscene were not building
in my build env. Not even after installing the units. So I really think
we should do something. What are those $LINKLIB and $LINK items you
mention? Do they really exist, or do we have to find them?

Agree, that is why I didn't propose depends. That was on purpose.

No, I don't. But for now, I also don't really care to do it manually.
Except if you think the flux is too high. I consider this a task of the
Debian maintainer. If we can automate it, fine, if not, we/I can do it
by hand.
