Bug#672909: love should build-depend on libvorbis-dev (and possibly others)

Package: love
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

We're planning to remove some dependencies that were introduced for
libsdl*-dev packages years ago that are actually not required, and we
found that some packages fail to build when we remove them, because
they rely on libsdl-*-dev packages pulling them.

Please re-check the build-depends on your package.  In particular,
please check if your package really depends on the same packages as
[1][2][3] do (e.g.: libdirectfb-dev, libcaca-dev, libogg-dev,
libtiff4-dev, ...); otherwise your package will FTBFS in the near
future.

[1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl-image1.2-dev
[2] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
[3] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libsdl1.2-dev

For example, your package uses Vorbis:
...
checking for library containing mpg123_open_feed... -lmpg123
checking for library containing mpg123_seek_64... none required
checking for library containing ov_open... no
configure: error: Can't LÖVE without VorbisFile

And so it should build-depend on libvorbis-dev.

Regards.

(If you have any question, please keep the
CC:pkg-sdl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org in the loop)
