Actually, I was unaware of the license issue and don't really care what 
version of readline is used.  XScorch works fine with both.  I looked 
for libreadline-dev which would have been most convenient and when I 
didn't find it, I wrote a dep on both so I could still compile the 
package on older systems.

The issue with the buildds using only the first dep is new to me and I 
really appreciate the information.  I will start writing deps 
newest-to-oldest in my control files.

I checked the log.  It built fine.  I didn't see any output I considered 
significant.  However, I wasn't aware of the GPL issue.  My omniscience 
level has been a bit low lately.

Thanks,
