No need to emphasize which I'd never doubt anyway...

but I wouldn't mind a bit more detail on your changes: Which FTBFS are
you referring to? From your "Also" I take it that it's an issue
different from #432280? Why should build-depending on
linux-kernel-headers be a proper fix for a standard application that
ought to have no business dealing with kernel interfaces? Why do you
claim that any change in your NMU version fixes #423280 when you didn't
touch any code and the bug log clearly states that it's actually a bug
in lesstif2-dev (or libxt-dev or whatever. There was a bit of confusion
about the true origin, and I'm unsure whether it's been settled in the
meantime, which is why the bug was still open)? Incidentially, I just
rebuilt -2 on i386 without a hitch, so the header problem looks fixed
indeed, and I've got no clue what this kernel-headers hack is supposed
to achieve. I also wonder what makes this leaf package so important that
you have to NMU a dubious-looking patch with four minutes of advance
notice. Next time, please spend an extra minute on the changelog and
save me an hour of hunting down what on earth you were trying to do.

Regards,

Daniel.
