I have just skimmed over the dicussions from 2009 where we decided that it
should be one ddeb per source package, and it seems that everyone preferred one
ddeb per binary package except the ftpmasters :) So that's fine with me.
I'd add to the requirements that foo-ddeb needs to Depend on foo (=
${binary:Version}).
I'd also mandate the use of build-ids for .ddebs and add refcounting support
(like has been done for multiarch AFAIK) to dpkg for them, so we don't need to
worry about Conflicts / Replaces.
Cheers,
Emilio
