Package: loudmouth
Version: 1.4.3-6
Severity: serious

        Hi!

 Timing is pretty bad, unfortunately the change to use the system
libasyncns instead of the embedded causes troubles because packages that
formerly only did build-depend on libloudmouth-dev now also needs to
build-depend on libasyncns-dev (like mcabber).

 As quick and non-intrusive fix I would suggest to add libasyncns-dev to
the depends of the libloudmouth-dev package so no depending package
requires a change for now, and inform the reverse-depends of that
package that they might need to change their build-depends after the
squeeze release (and drop it shortly after that again).

 Thanks,
Rhonda
