Hello Those libraries are only for "playing around", they are AFAIK still experimental and have ABI changes whenever the upstream likes it. Hence they have still the Version 0.0.0. I wouldn't like to separate them to not give people the impression that they can link to them.
I would leave the bug report open but not as "serious", if nobody objects. bye, -christian- On Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:11:33 +0200 Ondřej Surý <ond...@sury.org> wrote: > severity 705306 wishlist > thank you > > The Policy Section 8 also says: > > --cut here-- > This section deals only with public shared libraries: shared libraries > that are placed in directories searched by the dynamic linker by > default or which are intended to be linked against normally and > possibly used by other, independent packages.
