Right now I push into tde-packaging commit 499de1ac: Disable WITH_LIBBFD in
tdelibs on Debian and Ubuntu. We can look forward to cancel the tight
dependency on binutils from the next tdelibs rebuild :)

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.
