Probably not. Evidently I had libesd*-dev installed at one point and
for some reason esd-config did not get removed when I removed the
package. Debian potato; probably the package has been fixed by now
and there's really no way to find out, the rate Debian updates
packages.
I still wish autoconf scripts would find a way to be smarter about
wedging themselves this way.
I sent in a bug report about this in unstable (erm, potato) for this and
was told that `esd-config' is in esound-common to avoid duplicating it
in both the normal and alsa libesd-dev packages.
This is a real PITA, but I don't know if the problem will go away.
I think that finding `esd-config' is the right thing to do though, but
checking for the esd library also would be nice. Because Debian *are*
broken here, but didn't sound overly inclined to change it :/
