Bug#616394: libvte9: too-loose dependency on libvte-common

Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.27.5-1
Severity: serious

I decided to try libvte9 in experimental to see if it solves a bug I
have (#616392).  Unfortunately, without also upgrading libvte-common, I
get a complaint from vte that it can't find /etc/termcap and
gnome-terminal ceases to function in any useful way.  You need a tighter
dependency on libvte-common so that the proper version is installed.
