Bug Description

Binary package hint: cacao

cacao currently FTBFS from source, and is in NBS due to libtool madness.

I have prepared 0.99.4~20081006 (with doko's blessing) that corrects both issues, closes bug 163906, and let's us drop the source of cacao from the cacao-oj6 package.

  * Add a cacao-source package.
