You recommend to use libcap-dev instead of libcap2-dev, but won't this cause problems with downstreams, that still ship libcap-dev? (or make it easy to forget when doing lenny backports) I discussed this with the co-maintainers of avahi, and we think the best recommendation would be, to use libcap-dev (>= 1:2.16), so you don't accidentally pick up any old version (even libcap2-dev | libcap-dev doesn't ensure that, as an old libcap-dev could already been installed, so the b-dep would be satisfied). Just some thoughts I think I should let you know. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
