Bug Description

I tried to compile renouveau in Feisty Beta. However I was getting errors during link phase:

michal@michal-laptop:~/nouveau/renouveau$ make
cc -g -Wall `sdl-config --cflags` re.o detection.o tests.o xvmc_tests.o main.o NVCtrl.o objects.o ioctl.o regl.o nv20_vtxprog.o nv30_vtxprog.o nv40_vtxprog.o nv30_fragprog.o nv40_fragprog.o disasm_shader.o -o renouveau `sdl-config --libs` -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lXvMCNVIDIA -lXvMC -lXv
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXvMCNVIDIA
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [renouveau] Błąd 1

I had to manually create link in /usr/lib/ to make ld work:
 ln -s /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.9755 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so

In my opinion nvidia-glx package should create this link automatically
