I don't "get" how this can be, unless these distros are actively removing
packages (which defeats alot of the point of using debian/ubuntu); a search
on packages.debian.org shows all stable releases (even "oldstable" - now
many many years old), have *some* form of libmicrohttpd ...
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libmicrohttpd&searchon=names&suite=oldstable&section=all
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libmicrohttpd&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all

So, how can this be possible?  It doesn't make sense that they would remove
packages like this - perhaps there is a "libdevel" section elsewhere for
these distributions thats not in the default /etc/apt/sources.list?  The
current "stable" Debian release has the needed bits, and Debian has always
been notoriously slow between stable releases.

Perhaps we are testing the lunatic fringe a bit here - are there any Ubuntu
or Debian releases in the QA farm that lack needed support?  AFAICT, there
should not be any.

cheers.
