Severity: important

Hi,

Your last changelog says:
   * Modified src/parser.y and src/parser.h to avoid problems with the sign of
     char on powerpc (closes: Bug #294787).  Thanks to Jérémy Bobbio for the
     patch.

Unfortuatly, this causes a timestamp skew problem.  In the patch
file the parser.c file gets patched before the parser.y file.
Depending on the arch and kernel version used, this can result in
make thining that parser.c needs to be rebuild (because it's
older).

This causes a problem since you do not build depend on bison.

There are atleast 2 ways of dealing with this problem:
- Build depend on bison.
- Touch files in the rules file in the proper order so it thinks
  it doesn't need rebuild.

Also see /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz.
