Yeah it was a bad mistake.. Fixed in git now, and waiting for a sponsor :)

The -dev package is just for potential plugins, and I checked it's deps
now. Added libnspr4-dev and libldap2-dev to it's deps. Fixed in git.

I don't know why but the automatic dependencies didn't work before.. and
overlooked it until now. I'll check the other deps later but left them
as is for now.
