10 It is not a different package, just a newer version of a package which
11 happends to be incompatible with the previous version.

13 The reason they are installing in /usr/include/freetype and
14 /usr/include/freetype2 is because the user should be able to have them

17 This should be fixed by having dependencies like
18 freetype >= 1.3, < 2.0 (or whatever syntax we came up with). I'm not
19 sure of the current status of that.
