libfdt-dev is broken for current LTS release

[Alex Bennée]

Currently attempts to use libfdt-dev will fail as the packaging doesn't include the libfdt_env.h header required by the others. One place this breaks for example is trying to compile the current QEMU using system libraries. This has already been fixed upstream so the fix should be just to import the latest 1.3.0-3 of the device-tree-compiler package.

This is the upstream bug-report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706137

I can confirm that after hand-building Debian's device-tree-compiler_1.3.0-4 packages and installing them I could successfully build something using libfdt-dev (qemu).

This is fixed in Ubuntu 13.10.
