It is required. If you really, fully build "with the included" libraries, this would mean you get a statically linked binary - policy requires that binaries should be dynamically linked. If you compile with the included libraries, but generate a dynamically linked binary - uups, that will lead to hell. Well, to runtime errors at least. This is because dh_shlibdebs will look at what is installed, IIRC. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt. Biophysikalische Chemie
