Mmm, Attilio, i don't think this file should be hardcoded like that, but
better provided by rootskel-gtk, or generated from rootskel-gtk at early
runtime, as we may wish to make it configurable from /proc/cmdline, and do
some more advanced matching depending on graphic card used or architecture, as
i proposed yesterday.

Hi Guillem ...

Does the new DFB break ABI compatibiliy nd needs a new soname ? From the
version number i kind of doubt that, but i may be wrong. If there is no ABI
breakage and soname bump, then it is no lib transition, and a plain upload to
unstable will do.

Also, there are no many other packages which depend on dfb, i think, so even a
ABI bumping transition is mostly OK i believe, not like if you bumped
libstdc++ or the libgtk libs.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
