uninstallable because of wrong dependency

Bug Description

The libwxsvg-dev package in Universe lists (among others) the following dependencies:
libavcodeccvs-dev
libavformatcvs-dev

These two packages are not present in the Universe repo, but the following are in the repo:
libavcodec-dev
libavformat-dev

Consequently, I wonder whether it is not an error in the dependency list of the debian package!?

- I edited debian/control and removed the "cvs" -substring from the 2 dependency names mentioned in the previous message
- Afterwards I added a new entry in debian/changelog by using dch -i, which also upped the version number appropriatly

The new .dsc-file passed the test build with pbuilder (the universe component was enabled in pbuilder), so I am going to attach the diff.gz file of the corrected package to this bug thread.

Looks good!

Two small things:
1) You can close a bug (e.g. this one) in debian/changelog by putting LP: #bugnumber in there. (I've smuggled this in right now).
2) For updates, which don't involve a new upstream version, a debdiff is much easier to review. You can create one with "debdiff oldpackage.dsc newpackage.dsc".

ACK for the FFe, uploading it as soon as my testbuild is finished.
