Bug Description

It was reported to me by the Debian Maintainer of this package (Nathan Osman, https://launchpad.net/~george-edison55 here on Launchpad) that there is a missing build dependency in the package.

It was reported to me that the Maintainer would like to have `libunity-dev` added as an Ubuntu-specific build dependency for this package. The package does not depend on `libunity` in Debian, however it was indicated that, at some level, it should depend on `libunity` in Ubuntu.

(This information was reported to me on Ask Ubuntu's general chat room; the specific chat message indicating this can be seen at http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/27396416#27396416)

Just to confirm, the package should have a build dependency on "libunity-dev". The CMakeLists.txt checks for the presence of the package in order to enable customizations specific to Unity (though the binary produced will work without Unity installed at runtime).
