[Voip-select] A question of distros for delivery of prepacked solutions

sorry for not have answered to this before, but I just happened to come
across this posting while looking up your email. The idea to ship
bayonne with Debian is probably a very good idea which should be
supported as good as can. However, with the latest stable release of
Bayonne 1.2.15 we do encounter *a lot* of problems on archs !i386 at the
moment. You can check
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=bayonne where all the
buildlogs are archived. A brief insight has brought me to believe this
is due to the integral overlapping of server daemon and server library
code. Probably this needs to be cleaned up to comply with libtool in a
sane way and build libs as library code (through libtool) and the server
as application code like now. 

Are you aware of any patches that do this cleanup already or is there a
1.2.16 release in the pipeline which would address this?

Thanks for your answer and happy new year!
