Potential fix for the multi-arch issuedebian/2.6.0-5

 Flex no longer automatically pulls in libfl-dev, so at the very least
 packages using C++ lexers will need to pull in libfl-dev in build
 depends. libfl-dev is now demoted to a suggestion. This will impact
 compilation where there was an implicit dependency on the C++ header
 files provided by libfl-dev; please install libfl-dev explicitly if that
 is the case.
