Package: make-guile Version: 4.0-7 Severity: normal Hi. This isn't a bug per se, but a question.
Currently we have a guile-less 'make' package as part of build-essential and a guile-ful 'make-noguile'. What would you think about switching the names around? So you'd have build-essential depend on 'make-noguile', and a plain 'make' package providing a guile-ful make? This would keep the closure of build-essential as it is now, but the guile support wouldn't be delegated to a second-class status. I can imagine that the guile support would be under-utilized simply because 'apt-get install make' doesn't pull it in. Currently 'make-guile' does Provide 'make', but that isn't enough. The current situation optimizes for the needs of the bootstrappers, and while those are important, I don't think this is the primary use of make in Debian.
