Package: znc
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: minor

The znc-dev package contains the required data to build external
modules for ZNC.  One thing it does not do, however, is depend on the
compiler(s) for such modules.  Perhaps it would be prudent to have
`build-essential` (or equivalent script) set as a dependency.

(Ubuntu bug for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085742)

Is this a break in Debian policy as well?  Or, could the -dev package
be renamed to -buildmod?  (related:

It is not an fault to shop binaryies within -dev packages, I also wouldn't rename it.

It is wrong to depend on compilers or build-essential, since this also just depends on the GNU compiler section.
