Comment 14 for bug 931606

Sorry, I didn't have time to look at this today, and I'd want another Ubuntu developer to look over it too (we require two Ubuntu dev ACKs for new packages). It's a leaf package so a feature freeze exception should be easy to organise. In fact, if we're doing that, let's get it into Debian first.

--no-as-needed isn't ideal. Can we not fix the route cause?

It'd be nice to have a get-packaged-orig-source rule to generate the git snapshot tarball

Lintian raises a few issues.
