Ok. I will try to get it to run with 16bpp. Everybody seemed just to run
8bpp. Perhaps I am not current.

Just noticed this old bug report. In my opinion it's a bug in the
kpathsea library (which is linked statically in bibtex and is not
included in the kpathsea package, but in the kpathsea package source).
You can verify this behaviour by using kpsewhich (included in package
kpathsea):

So could we please add this in the guidelines? I didn't check the guidelines
on this but we should also ask the libraries (static and dynamic) to not
contain debugging symbols

When using dpkg-buildpackage with the -r option the command "debian/rules
