For testing, I have just compiled thrice without problems, with the original 
version plus the attached debdiff. Perhaps it is simply a problem with awk, 
which, afaics, its not part of the base installation (contrary to mawk and sed).
The resulting package contains the following:

I'm not familiar at all with python, so I can't really judge if this is correct 
or not but I find it strange to have static libraries and libtool files in 
/usr/share/pycentral. Can you check with somebody who is knowledgeable about 
python and especially python extensions?
I've also noticed that lintian/linda complain about symlinked changelogs:

W: python-vipscc: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink
W: libvips-tools: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink
W: libvips-dev: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink

Can you clarify this with Jay?
