Package: debhelper
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I’m attaching a new debhelper script named dh_devlibs. As the name says,
it is meant for development libraries.

Currently it does two things:
      * Cleanup of the dependency_libs field in .la files, to avoid
        having libtool explicitly link to all indirect dependencies.
        This will allow to remove the existing hacks to that effect.
      * Generation of a dev:Depends dependency field, based on the
        contents of pkg-config files. This will remove the need to check
        which build-dependencies also need to be -dev dependencies, and
        to keep the versions in sync.

It would be nice to include it in debhelper.

Thanks,
