Hi Guillem, if I put out `libreadline5' then fails to build, `bc' suggests `libreadline5' so it's not installed in clean builds enviromments like with `pbuilder'. So I _need_ to put explicit `libreadline5' as Build-Depend. I don't know if it's fine fill a bug in bc because of this, because they already have it as Suggests. Thanks for your quick answer.
