Thanks for your review and comment. You are right the version of -dev package is only required if maintener intend to ship multiple version of the ABI. There aren t any bug in the doc (see 8.4) https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html How can we be certain about multiple ABI. Should I ask upstream? Or is that a ´debian only decision´? > Cheers, > Julien Thanks Éric
