[Bug 1295072] Re: qemu 1.7 should build-depend on libfdt-dev higher than 1.4.0

[Serge Hallyn]

Yes, thanks Michael, as we discussed on irc this needs to be fixed in
device-tree-compiler in precise (and quantal).

Once that is done we can remove the versioned dependency in trusty qemu.

Bug description:
  The configure scripts checks for fdt by looking at libfdt_env.h

  configure:2610: #include <libfdt_env.h>

  This file only exists in libfdt-dev version 1.4.0 and onwards, so it makes sense to specify build-dependency on that version. Otherwise, configure fails with:
      error_exit "DTC not present. Your options:" \
          "  (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package" \
          "  (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:" \
          "      git submodule update --init dtc"
