[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#805745: ricochet-im: Change dependencies to make backports easier?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: ricochet-im
Version: 1.1.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

I just tried to build the ricochet-im package on Jessie, and it failed
because libasan2 was missing.  After changing this build dependency to
'libasan2 | libasan1', the package built but refused to install because
tor was only version 0.2.5.  I had to change the dependency to 0.2.5 to
get the package installed.  But it is unclear to me if it is safe to
reduce these dependencies.  The libasan version seem to be mostly a ABI
change.  But is the tor version important?  The program seemed to work
when I start it, but I did not have anyone to connect to so I was unable
to test the chat.

Here is the patch I used.
