[Pkg-allegro-maintainers] Bug#431417: liballegro4.2-dev: /usr/include/allegro/alunixac.h overrides autotools macros causing problems

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: liballegro4.2-dev
Version: 2:4.2.0-5
Severity: normal

The header file mentioned above defines the following macros:

#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE_NAME ""
#define PACKAGE_STRING ""
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION ""

which are all standard autotools macros. This means that an
application built with autotools will have these macros overridden,
not normally what is wanted. There is a workaround, namely for the
application to #include "config.h" after #include <allegro.h>, but I
can't see a reason for allegro to define these macros in the first
place.
