retitle -1 "libwmf embeds copy of libgd2"
severity -1 important
found -1 0.2.8.4-8
quit

The first NMU was rejected for a lintian check which appears to have
been implemented after the 0.2.8.4-8 upload (because the same problem
affects that version too and, presumably, previous versions).

E: libwmf0.2-7: embedded-library usr/lib/libwmf-0.2.so.7.1.0: libgd2

As a *temporary* measure, I've implemented a lintian override so that
this RC bug can be fixed. There is an upstream option (--disable-heavy)
which does avoid the creation of the embedded copy of libgd2 but this
option also disables the entire src/extra directory which results in
empty libwmf-bin and libwmf-doc packages as well as the removal of the
GDK plugin debian/tmp/usr/lib/gtk-*/*/loaders/*.so

Once this NMU RC bug fix has migrated to testing, the cloned bug
report may need to be upgraded in severity.
