[Bug 522162] [NEW] liblouis-dev needs to be a build-dep for gnome-orca

[WillieWalker]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-orca

liblouis provides contracted braille support for the orca screen reader.
In order for Orca to discover where the liblouis translation tables are,
Orca's autogen.sh/configure scripts look to pkg-config on the liblouis
package:

pkg-config --variable=tablesdir liblouis

The pkg-config info is provided by the liblouis-dev package.  Without
this, Orca cannot find the translation tables for liblouis.  The impact
is that Orca thinks contracted braille is available, but doesn't offer
the user any contracted braille table options.

As a potential future solution, we may request that the liblouis project
provide bindings to allow the discovery of the translation table
location at runtime.  For now, however, it's important to have liblouis-
dev installed when building Orca.

Thanks!
