Hi,
the old libconfig has been orphaned and removed from lenny and sid
(#499259). After that the hyperrealm libconfig has then been uploaded as

Well, if we say nothing at all then at least one of the two parties
has suggested they may pick the name `libconfig1'. I
There has been little further discussion following my last message.
