debian/patches/fix_linking.patch

+Description: When using
+          DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND := -Wl,-z,defs
+ which should prevent successful build of a broken library this patch is needed
+ but not sufficient to build the project successfully.  There are at least one
+ further library that needs additional linking options.  Any volunteer who wants
+ to provide a complete patch that enables linking with  -Wl,-z,defs  is welcome
