Bug#932512: freebsd-buildutils: Don't build against flex-old

Source: freebsd-buildutils
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi, as a maintainer of flex-old package I'm considering requesting
removing it as obsolete and unmaintained version of flex.  The
freebsd-buildutils Build-Depends on flex-old optionally. Please build the
package only against current flex by removing references to flex-old
package such as changed in the following patch.

The binary package Conflicts with flex-old should be kept untouched
until flex-old has been removed from the repository I believe.
