Hello Timo, The plan (see #1127833) is to temporarily have two source packages with a separate -dev package *temporarily* to be able to switch peu a peu. I do not think anybody wants to ship both nettle 3 and 4 in forky though. The upstream's that have already adapted the source are all using #ifdefs to allow building with both Nettle 3 and Nettle 4. See e.g. https://thekelleys.org.uk/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=4070a74862c3c956a676d2b931ff186e14f5d9f5 or GnuTLS. cu Andreas -- "You people are noisy," Nia said.
