Actually, I have no strong preference and know too little about Debian
conventions in this case. 

But your arguments make sense: if there are bugs fixed in the newer
versions, pinning shlibdps on the buggy version with -V seems wrong.

(There might be some reason behind the pinning: iff the bugs are minor and
 the newer version is either a development version (with an unknown number
 of new bugs) or has strong dependencies not present in the old one.)

Could you mail the libslang2 maintainers then, asking to remove the pinning?

Maybe we put a conflict into control until then.

Actually, together with Jörgs script I got now two versions.
Thanks to both of you.

How about putting them into ...trunk/packages/jed/utils/? 
(Similar to jed-extra, I called them 

  build-jed-from-svn-copy.sh    % J S
  build-jed-from-scratch.sh     % R L
)
