[Bug 524148] Re: onboard has overactive dependencies

[Emmet Hikory]

It is necessarily the case that the debian/rules patch should be removed
if there is intentional hardcoding against specific versions of the
libraries, because the patch will destroy the information provided in
the upstream files, and set them to be the current system libraries,
which is potentially wrong.  It will also break policy because the
unpatching in clean: won't restore the pristine source.

If the specific libraries are hardcoded in the source, the specific
dependencies should be hardcoded in debian/control, and a note to that
effect added to debian/README.source so that future maintainers know to
check and adjust if updating.
