FWIW, I am fairly certain that removing the debug messages has effectively
zero speed gain, as it's just a single (int > Constant) comparison for
each message. Even on the slowest 386 you could not notice that in an
interactive program with time loops. So it only helps to make finding
bugs harder and the code more cluttered with #ifdefs.....

No. I've just tested building from the latest svn (r2308) on debian/etch
with mapnik turned off. after minor tweaks to the debian/control and rules
files `debuild binary` works fine. (diff avail upon request, just a few
things commented out)

ps- what is the new dbus dependency used for? I build fine without it.
