I think this could be leaved as a default (keep hurdles low).
However, Jed should depend on the fixed libslang2 (>= 2.0.6-1) (I prefer
this over a confict with earlier versions as the cleaner approach.)

I suppose we can override the libstlang2 default and avoid a lintian
warning by excluding libslang2: 
  dh_shlibdeps --exclude=libslang2
and putting explicit dependencies into the control file.

BTW: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/editors/jed still shows version 
     (0.99.17.135-1).
     
     Where can I fetch the 0.99.18 deb? 
     Is there a helper script for a home-build from the SVN or working copy?
