Bug#568374: debian-policy: section "8.4 Development files" not explicit enough regarding libraryname[soversion]-dev
Michael Prokop
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.]
