The severity of this bug, "minor", is quite correct IMHO; pure virtual build-deps cause no real problems, nor do additional dependencies on zlib which isn't going to change its soname any time in the foreseeable future. There are far bigger fish to fry; I don't imagine this will be a priority for me before significant headway is made in the archive wrt spurious dependencies on libs that *don't* have stable ABIs. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
