Aah, now it makes more sense, right. Well, I take that as another reason to use the cond_enable macro in debian/confflags for these libraries, because this way you do not even have to edit any file, but can just bootstrap with 'dpkg-buildpackage -d -b'. Currently, libx264 and gpac use that, but opencv only in ubuntu (I need it there because all of those are not in main, and I want to keep the differences minimal). I'll switch opencv as well in the next upload. Anyway, Thorsten, is there anything else that we can help you with?
