[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#515631: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils: should build-dep on xserver-xorg-dev instead of duplicating it

[Julien Cristau]

Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 2.1.2-dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

vbox duplicates xserver headers (and headers from some system libraries)
in its source tarball.  It shouldn't use that, and ought to use the
xserver-xorg-dev package instead.  This would make sure that the module
and the server are actually binary compatible (there's a bunch of
defines in xorg/xorg-server.h that could potentially affect this, and
which depend on the actual configuration), and would allow the use of
the files in /usr/share/xserver-xorg/ to generate correct package
relationships instead of hardcoding them.

Cheers,
Julien
