Hi, the B-D versions for wpg/wpd are no longer necessary... it's a legacy of a now-defunct patch, so we can now drop them.

If you're interested, the rough timeline is as follows:

1. Upstream inkscape <= 0.48.1 depends on wpg-0.1.0

2. Debian introduces wpg-0.2.0

3. Debian Inkscape package 0.48.1-2 introduces new patch to build Inkscape against wpg-0.2.0. B-D versions introduced. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604825

4. Upstream inkscape 0.48.2 released: builds against either wpg-0.1.0 or 0.2.0

5. (No Debian package of 0.48.2 yet)

6. Ubuntu package 0.48.2-0ubuntu1 drops wpg patch (better patch now upstream). B-D versions not dropped.
