The problem with a lib*-dev package is that people expect a lib* to go along with it, but on the other hand people don't expect a build-depends on a lib*. And, of course, nobody expects the spanish inquisition... <grin> > It would be interesting to get some comments on this. > > FWIW, I am now almost in favour of pstreams -- as Antonio originally > called it -- as it's the product name after all. From what I can see, the package wouldn't provide anything useful at runtime, which is the intent of lib* package (IMO), and a lib*-dev package is for providing build-time stuff for a lib* package, so straight up pstreams seems like a winner to me. - Matt
