The autogen-dev package installs a file /sw/include/options.h which interferes with the building of a couple of packages that use their own options.h during building. Several packages have noticed this and have BuildConflicts (gcc4, g95), one (cm3-dev) has the quaint remark

This package currently does not build if autogen-dev is installed (once built,
 it no longer conflicts with autogen-dev).

in its DescDetail -- it hasn't been updated since the BuildConflicts field was introduced.

The autogen-dev package itself has not been updated since 10.2 (pre-gcc3.3 even), and very few people will have it installed (no idea why anyone would want to install it), so chances are that it breaks quite a few more packages, basically any package that either uses options.h in its build process or installs options.h anywhere in its headers.

Does anyone know what this package is used for and whether moving its options.h from /sw/include/ to /sw/share/autogen/ would be noticed by anyone at all?
