Hi Daniel;

I'm not necessarily opposed to migrating to the Debian packages to gmime
2.6, but I'd like to point out that your patch is might be more decisive
than intended, since the build daemons strip all but the first
dependency. This will cause the build do fail if 2.6 is not
available. For more discussion of this, see
id:"20110920181701.GQ3245@codelibre.net" (debian-devel, Sept. 2011).
