Control: severity -1 serious

Dear maintainer,

Freetype 2.9.1-2 has been in experimental for three weeks now. As it is working well, I have decided to upload the package to unstable within the next two to three weeks.

A rebuild of your package with freetype 2.9.1 installed confirmed that your package will FTBFS once the new version of freetype enters unstable. In almost all cases, this build failure was caused by the configure script not detecting the freetype libraries, as freetype-config is not shipped in 2.9.1.

Given the build failure and upcoming upload of freetype 2.9.1, I am raising the severity of this bug to Serious.

Please use pkg-config to detect freetype.

Thank you
