Hi Adam and Gianfranco,
Steve accepted almost all of my NMU changes last Friday, when he released a maintainer version of freetype. So this RFS bug can be closed. Thank you for your advice during the process.

IIRC, some of the 33 already use pkg-config for other packages. > Anyhow, we are really blocked by Steve, I pinged him on irc, maybe we can fix > this old bug > now! We should keep trying, but I don't want to pressure him to respond. On another note, when should I prepare an NMU fixing #883698 (an RC bug)? I'd also like to try removing the libdir code from freetype-config to make the package multi-arch compatible. Thanks, Hugh
