OK, we are cooking.... I have edited texmacs_1.0.7.2-1.dsc, replacing
"libltdl-dev | libltdl7-dev" with "libltdl3-dev", executed again 'fakeroot
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc', and got this error:

There is a file texmacs-1.0.7.2/debian/changelog with rw permission, so that I
do not see what is the issue here.

Whatever it is, this experiment just shows once more that compiling
applications is, generically, an artisan work for individuals with expertise,
and an advise like "just compile the current TeXmacs from sources" is not
valid for most ordinary users.
