I'm going to poke Jean-Samuel and Georges about this. It is a rather
annoying state of affairs. JS's packages should probably learn to pull
in the libraries (because that is what Fabrizio stumbled over), and both
sets of packages need to be aware of each other and declare conflicts so
the other is uninstalled.

Ideally, we'd merge them both into one, so we can handle the older
Ubuntu releases as simple backports of the existing Debian package.

There is a lot of duplicate effort here. Also, IMO users should stay
away from daily builds unless they have a good reason.
