The versioned dependency is generated by dh_linktree. Upstream embeds a copy of the pubsub source tree because it needs to patch one line in one source. I use the sources from wxgtk3.0 instead, apply the patch then call "dh_linktree deduplicate" to replace unpatched files with symlinks. Whether I use dh_linktree or not, I want to avoid duplicating the pubsub tree so I need to rebuild taskcoach (and reapply the patch) each time wxgtk3.0 changes its upstream version, in case the pubsub code has been modified. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
