Package: paul
Version: 0.1.1-5
Severity: serious

Hi Andreas,

Your package currently build-depends on giflib3g-dev | giflib-dev; although
giflib-dev is a virtual package also provided by libungif4-dev, this
dependency results in autobuilt packages that depend on giflib3g, which is
an ancient version of the lib that has an RC security bug.  There is a new
version of giflib in NEW, but it also changes the -dev package name to
libgif-dev, so paul will then be uninstallable and fail to build.

Since there is no guaranteed ETA on giflib 4 clearing the NEW queue, and I
intend to tag giflib3g for removal from testing due to its RC bug, I would
recommend switching paul's build-dependencies to libungif4-dev in the short
term if you want this package to ship with sarge.

Cheers,
