The way I understand pkg-config, the libraries listed do not have to be direct prerequisites (i.e. the extra math library of old, -lm). Lintian cannot test for all prerequisites without unpacking all build requirements and, in effect, attempting a build. I would like to remove this tag from Lintian. Kind regards Felix Lechner
