[Tiago Sturmer Daitx]

Public bug reported:

libedit build in Wily proposed is failing due to LIBBSD_LIBS being added
to LDFLAGS instead of LIBS.

As stated in
https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries
and http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node
/Preset-Output-Variables.html#index-LDFLAGS-93 libraries must be added
to LIBS instead of LDFLAGS.

The attached debdiff fixed the issue.
