If one is going to have two copies of the library, one in the runtime and other in the -dev package, they do. And doing this in the maintainer scripts would be just too damn messy. However, Herbert's proposal does not require two copies of the library at all, and I wouldn't have even posted this had I read his mail before replying ;) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
