Yes, documenting changes on a pastebin is in general not so smart. I think he pasted it there to make it clear what the "real" changes were because the normal debdiff had all lines changes due to the scrubbed ^M characters.
The only listed Ubuntu change in 1.5.1-7ubuntu1 was this:
- Build shared libraries with CC, not LD.
but it is not documented why this is a necessary change in Ubuntu.
1.5.7-1 builds fine in Ubuntu as it is. There is a $(LD) in the Makefile, but
it is evaluated as "cc" anyway.
The useful changes in 1.5.1-7ubuntu2 were:
+ Makefile: Generate pkg-config files
+ debian/libglew{,mx}1.5-dev.install:
+ debian/rules: Amend for pkg-config addition
which all seem to have been fixed in 1.5.3-2.
