You're right, I hadn't thought of that. I stand corrected. Thanks to
you and Max for taking the time to answer.

Now this means that my scsh package in stable is not correct. I do not
really have the impression that it matters a lot because not many
people use it; also, as I said, I will submit a new version for the
next version of scsh, which should come out soon. That said, if you
think I should correct and re-submit the current package, I will do
so. Or maybe someone with CVS access can add the dependency on
dlcompat for me and increment the revision.

Michel.
