Bug Description

Wibble's string.h uses vasprintf but does not #include <cstdio>.

It causes issues like the following when compiling debtags:

"In file included from /usr/include/wibble/test.h:3,
                 from /usr/include/wibble/exception.h:25,
                 from /usr/include/ept/apt/apt.h:27,
                 from Printer.h:35,
                 from SmartSearcher.cc:22:
/usr/include/wibble/string.h: In function 'std::string wibble::str::fmt(std::string, ...)':
/usr/include/wibble/string.h:63: error: 'vasprintf' was not declared in this scope"

Debdiff coming shortly.

Thanks for your contribution. Please don't add patch systems to packages that don't have them already; general convention in Ubuntu is that we stick with existing packaging. I'd be happy to sponsor this if you just applied the patch directly to the source package.
