s/Etch/Experimental/, I see. Which is fine. (:
Thanks for working with us on this!

I assume you meant 2:1.1.6, since etch is at 2:1.1.6-x and breezy is at
2:1.1.5-x. See the discussion of the "epoch" in Debian Policy 5.6.12:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version
I'll add that to the Build-Depends. (As you said later, we don't know
whether it's needed in Depends, so I won't bother with it there. Let
me know if you find out otherwise.)

Nod, that looks sensible.

That's libapr0's responsibility - it should get this stuff right. If
not, that's where to file the bugs. See
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libapr0.shlibs.

I'll investigate - if that's what that does, I'm all for it.
Thanks again,
Peter
