So all libraries need a Depends on a binary from src:fpc with an upper
limit (generated during the build). In that way, the Debian
infrastructure knows that a rebuild (or potentially manual action) is
needed. We don't want it to be too tight. When you said "any new version
of FPC" do you mean each patch level too, or on only minor level? How
about Debian new uploads?
