Package: libpkg-guide Version: 0.0.20070413 Severity: serious The libpkg-guide that has been packaged and is now in the archive gives recommendations regarding -dev package naming which are not at all representative of a consensus in Debian. We already have problems with library maintainers inserting sonames into their -dev package names based on the unclear/misguided advice of this document; shipping it in a stable release would be seen by many as an endorsement by the Debian project, and no such endorsement exists. There *particularly* isn't such an endorsement from the Debian release team, for whom gratuitous -dev package name changes make library transitions more difficult by orders of magnitude.
This package should not be included in a stable release until the recommendations have been revised to reflect best practices. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
