I did some more work on that topic in the meantime. I checked the actual package debian list http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages and the SUSE-List as well http://en.opensuse.org/Package_List/11.1/GNOME-LiveCD-i686. There is no libconfig-file listed. I also browsed the history and the bug-history of debian as well and found from different postings that that file was removed about 2008. (Indeed there had been some minor weakness reported.)
I do not know if anyone really needs an improvement for that package? ("If I didn't have to sign a copyright waiver, I'd submit a patch for more modern behaviour.")
So I think that libconfig-chapter is closed - for shure for me. Let us do some usefull work for that libiovmall-problem.
