Package: libace-dev
Version: 5.7.7-2
Severity: important
Justification: silently changes build behaviour of unrelated software

I was just about to build and upload a bugfix version of the diagnostics package
and noticed that it wasn't using ACE anymore. The reason is simply that
pkg-config didn't know about ACE!? Hence I dug further and noticed that as of
r640 in pkg-ace SVN the pkg-config file isn't shipped anymore. There are two
issues here:

- The Debian changelog doesn't say a word about this change (and no NEWS file
  either).
- What is the correct new strategy to detect ACE in Debian?

Thanks a lot,
Michael
