It certainly looks like that. Package libgit2-21 shows these
dependencies:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libhttp-parser2.1 (>= 2.1),
libssh2-1 (>= 1.2.3), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0),
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
while the corresponding -dev package lists:
Depends: libgit2-21 (= 0.21.2-1), libz-dev, libssl-dev
libssh2-1-dev is missing from the dependency list.
Fortunately, some debian developers/maintainers should be watching
this list and react.
Still, until the problem is taken care of, the workaround is to
install libssh2-1-dev. The patch for subsurface-configure.pri should
not be needed, but reveals the problem.
Cheers,
