Hi Gustavo,

This same problem applies also to libgda2.  Here, however, the package will
build from source with the small patches to the sybase driver, since the
sybase driver is not broken upstream, so I've provided a patch to enable it
in the build instead.

Because the object name has changed, as well as all the symbols to be looked
up within it, I don't think it's possible to provide a straightforward
compatibility wrapper for the object; so I think it's best to rename the
package (gda2-freetds -> gda2-sybase) at the same time.

Patch is attached; once again, I'm happy to NMU if you find this would be
useful.

Cheers,
