Comment 3 for bug 357543

I think we shouldn't sponsor this.

If corsac bumped the debhelper revision to 7.0.50, there might be a reason and that's actually the case:
See the debian/rules:
#!/usr/bin/make -f

LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed

override_dh_auto_configure:
 dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=/usr --enable-animation

binary:
 dh binary --before dh_shlibdeps
 rm -f debian/gtk2-engines-murrine/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.la
 dh_gtkmodules
 dh binary --remaining

%:
 dh $@

-> the override management in debhelper is only accessible in debhelper 7.0.50 (http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/debhelper_dh_overrides/), so typically, --prefix=/usr --enable-animation will be ignored.
