Hi Iain,

Does the package FTBFS on Debian?  If not, then this bug has no business
being important or listed with a "fails to build from source" justification.

My hope is to make HDBC work with Hugs again, which I'll be attempting
when I make the next release.  You are right though; if I can't achieve
that, I shouldn't build-dep on it.
