Hello Sylvain,

thanks for reporting these bugs. They are closely related so I am
merging them.

The missing files are not included because ACE+TAO was compiled
using the autoconf method, which does *not* rely on
include/makeincludes nor rules.tao.GNU.

#469843:
> The version of libace-dev in experimental does not ship                       > include/makeincludes, folder which is expected by some external software      > packages in /usr/share/ace/include/makeincludes.

#469845:
> libtao-dev does not include rules.tao.GNU, which is expected under
> TAO_ROOT/ by the makefiles generated by mwc-ace

This is not completely true. If you use mwc-ace to generate automake
Makefile.am files you don't need these files. Hence I'm lowering the
severity of these bugs.

However I agree it is simpler to include them. They will be in 5.6.3-1.

Regards,

Thomas
