You guess right. If you take a look at:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/wv.html
you'll see it depends on "libwmf0 (>= 0.1.21-1)" but the link is to
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libwmf0.html
which is to version 0.1.16-2, and no other version is to be found on
www.debian.org, ftp.au.debian.org, ftp.debian.org or, seemingly, google.

Somewhat unusual, somewhat suboptimal. Any one got Ideas(tm), or should I
use the --force/source?
