Bug#399481: libcommoncpp2: reverting patch 01_debian from ./ ... fails durring rebuild

[Scott Edwards]

Package: libcommoncpp2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Within the last few days I setup a chroot to backport etch and sid
packages to sarge.

Here's part of the transcript:
