Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist
Section 8.4 of the policy says: | 8.4 Development files | | The development files associated to a shared library need to be | placed in a package called librarynamesoversion-dev, or if you | prefer only to support one development version at a time, | libraryname-dev. -- http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html Looking at #493951 and recommended practices I'd suggest to reword this paragraph so it's more obvious that you should use libraryname-dev unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise (like needing multiple versions available on the same machine). [Not sure whether it's directly related to #509933, please feel free to merge if necessary.] regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
