Yes, sorry for my non-responsiveness. When I received your first mail,
I was in the process of preparing a new upstream version of directfb,
which happened to give me some problems and ended up not finishing it,
and it sliping from my radar. I'll finish it today or tomorrow
(hopefully before FOSDEM). It should fix most (if not all) of your
issues.

That should be fixed in new packages.

I'll take a look at the .o files.

Should be fixed with the new package, I'll be sending a transition
announcement, tell me if the new packages does not work.

Yes, I've done a massive reorganization/cleanup to the package and now
all this mess should be fixed.

Fixed as well.
