meeh, because I didn't notice that dpkg did not try to apply the quilt
patches despite being in Format 3.0 (quilt). Applying the patches by
hand solved this problem.

Anyway, I think i managed to finally build it on kfreebsd. The first
issue was to forcefully disable alsa, it seems vlc doesn't build with
the salsa library for some reason.

The next fix is a fairly trivial typo in an ifdef branch in the file
access module that seems to be only selected on kfreebsd.

both issues are fixed in git, I'm doing a testbuild right now.
