For a package of 'daemon with a shared library interface' it seems to be logical to have a package for the daemon and the shared library, yet they would probably be logical to depend on each other. In the case of mysql/pgsql, the shared libraries don't depend on the database; may be a good idea to extend this; but some shared libraries simply don't function without the daemon. In that case, it might be better to make it into a single package. I have in mind jackd/libjack as an example, which currently only have recommends on jackd. regards, junichi -- Junichi Uekawa, Debian Developer http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/ 183A 70FC 4732 1B87 57A5 CE82 D837 7D4E E81E 55C1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
