$ grep perl debian/rules

		perl -w -i -p \
		perl -w -i -p \
	perl -w -i -p \

xjed is linked against libfreetype:

$ ldd `which xjed` | grep freetype
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x401a9000)
 
However, I could not find any place in the upstream sources where the
header files in package libfreetype6-dev are included.  A possible way to
test whether is by dropping the build-dependency on libfreetype6-dev,
removing the package from the system, and trying to build the package
under this conditions.  If it builds correctly, then libfreetype6-dev is
not really needed.  Could you try it, please?
