Scsh does *not* depend on dlcompat, it works perfectly well without

configure when scsh is built, then it's used.

It does "depend" on dlcompat, because of our policy... Fink policy is "if it finds it, you must depend on it". The (unattainable :) goal is for everyone to have the same deb file.

And additionally, this isnt just an arbitrary goal, your package will break for source users too:

1. User installs dlcompat.
2. User installs (from source) your package, which finds and uses dlcompat
3. User removes dlcompat (this works because your package DID NOT depend on it)
---> Your package will now NOT WORK, because it is linked against dlcompat which no longer exists.
