[Bug 426614] [NEW] oprofile is linked against non-shipping version of libbfd

[Olof Johansson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: oprofile

Oprofile, at least current version in karmic for arm, is linked against
a version of libbfd that is not included in the libbfd package.

Looks like all is needed is a rebuild of oprofile (I verified this locally), but why was it linked against a date-versioned libbfd in the first place, instead of the base library (link)?
