rlvm should build-depend on libogg-dev (and possibly others)

Package: rlvm
Version: 0.12-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

We're planning to remove some dependencies that were introduced for
libsdl*-dev packages years ago that are actually not required, and we
found that some packages fail to build when we remove them, because
they rely on libsdl-*-dev packages pulling them.

Please re-check the build-depends on your package.  In particular,
please check if your package really depends on the same packages as
[1][2][3] do (e.g.: libdirectfb-dev, libcaca-dev, libogg-dev,
libtiff4-dev, ...); otherwise your package will FTBFS in the near
future.

[1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl-image1.2-dev
[2] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
[3] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl1.2-dev

For example, your package uses Ogg:
...
Checking for Boost version >= 1.40... yes
Checking for C library pthread... yes
Checking for C library ogg... no
Checking for C library ogg... no
You need ogg to compile this program!


And so it should build-depend on libogg-dev.

Regards.
