This practice appeared with Ocsigen dynamically loading many libraries already (seperately) packaged in Debian, but is not yet documented in policy :-( There is an open bug about it, though: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500036 > Are you also saying that I do not need to create the two packages > libocp-indent-lib-ocaml and libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev but that only > libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev with all the files is enough? From reading [1] it > seems that splitting it into a lib and a dev package is only advised if a > shared library is involved which is not the case here. This is indeed what I'm saying. But keep in mind that if someone later writes a plugin using libocp-indent-lib-ocaml-dev for a program not using it, nor the OCaml toolchain, the second package might be needed. Whether you create the second package now or later, on demand, is up to you :-) Cheers, -- Stéphane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
