libcec does not detect any devices

I just rebuilt the package with the respective configure flags set.
I made the following changes:

debian/control:
added libraspberrypi-dev to Build-Depends

debian/rules:
added
override_dh_auto_configure:
 dh_auto_configure -- --with-rpi-include-path=/opt/vc/include --with-rpi-lib-path=/opt/vc/lib --enable-rpi

That package detects the CEC device. I'd create a patch but I'm not sure how to do that.

Unfortunately such a package is not appropriate for raspbian main which is meant to be generic and as close to Debian as possible.

Do you know how the Pi support in libcec works? is it a module of some sort? is it a change to the main library?

No, sorry. And my knowledge about C, autoconf and those things is pretty limited.
I thought Raspbian was about making little Tweaks to Debian to enhance support for the Pi.

On a jessie system 'apt-cache policy libcec2' returns the following:

libcec2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.2.0-1~jessie
  Version table:

Does the version from raspberrypi.org fix your issue?

I'm on libcec3 already:

$ apt-cache policy libcec3

I have no idea what should be done with this bug, so I'm resetting it back to 'New' and let plugwash decide what he wants to do.
