Comment 4 for bug 96980

Daniel: I'm uncertain what point you're trying to make by quoting the documentation. It doesn't seem relevant to the issue at hand.

The point is that upstream *by design* re-exports certain libraries from apu-1-config --libs, and this feature has been broken by a Debian patch.

I do understand why distributions desire to avoid unnecessary recursive linking of libraries because of the excessive pain that this causes to library transitions, but in this case in the eagerness of stomping on supposedly unnecessary linkage, an upstream feature has been broken.
