[pkg-ggz-maintainers] Bug#591163: Bug#591163: ggz-kde-client: FTBFS: Nonexistent build-dependency: libavahi-compat-howl-dev

[Josef Spillner]

Apparently, avahi  (0.6.27-1) has introduced this issue by an incomplete check 
of reverse dependencies in Debian:
     Development of the original Howl implementation has been discontinued and
     there are no more reverse dependencies in the Debian archive since lenny.

Nevertheless, I understand the reason to drop Howl and will update the 
packaging metadata accordingly in the pkg-ggz SVN.
