Control: reassign -1 libopenslide-dev
Control: affects -1 timg

Hi Étienne,

If this is a dependency required by openslide, shouldn't it be declared by 
openslide?
The error message suggests that and looking into the pkgconfig file too,
so I guess the correct way is to have libopenslide-dev Depends: on those 
libraries,
or are I am missing something?

Cheers,
