I have made the changes that you recommended so I'll just comment on a
couple of things below.

Yes, minetest 0.4 builds correctly with both libirrlicht-dev 1.7 and
1.8

I had kept them in separate packages because upstream also keeps them
separate but I suppose now that I actually think about it, putting
them both in minetest-data is the more sensible idea.
