I don't recommend switching back to bundling libraries. > I thought it might be easier for other projects to have separated packages. > But comments from [1] says that each minor release of package must result > in all libotb* packages to pass through the NEW queue. Whether a SONAME bump changes the package name for one or many packages doesn't make a difference with respect to the NEW queue. Just one renamed package is enough to have to pass the NEW queue again. > Any thoughts ? > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=809312#15 ITK & VTK are not good examples of well managed packages in my opinion, so I wouldn't look at them for inspiration. The NEW queue is not a bad thing that one should optimize its packaging for to avoid.
