I believe that a close relationship to binutils is just
a minor problem for users running stable version. It
is very unlikely that in the updates for stable version of Debian/Ubuntu distribution (or
backports) will be
updated binutils, which would break dependencies.
The problem is therefore only applies to users who use testing and unstable distributions.
For such versions
of distributions is not possible to release the "final" versions of TDE, because
any time something can go
wrong. I assume that users will always have to use either nightly-builds or preliminary
updates for stable
TDE branch. As was my ppa for v3.5.13.x branch.
I any case, if backtraces is good even without the lib bfd, we can turn off WITH_LIBBFD
and remove binutils-
dev from tdelibs-trinity build-deps and tdelibs14-trinity-dev dependencies. To me this
seems appropriate.

You have more experience than me, so I leave the choice to you and Tim. Both choices are
ok for me. I usually do a full rebuild every month or two, so in the worst case I just
hold up the binutils update for a few weeks.
