Right, I forgot to commit the source/format file which switches to "3.0 
(quilt)", so the inchi patch in debian/patches got ignored in your
build.  I've done that now.

That patch forces a static compilation of libinchi, which I think is the
reasonable thing to do for now (and which I wanted to bring up with
upstream as well).  I started looking into packaging libinchi
seperately, but it is pretty Windows-centric still.
