Package: udev Version: 146-1 Severity: wishlist File: /lib/udev/udev-acl Hi Marco,
udev-acl depends on libglib2.0, but you (understandibly) tried to avoid to make the udev package depend on libglib2.0. I think though, that the current approach, of excluding udev-acl from dpkg-shlibdeps and adding checks to 70-acl.rules has a few downsides: * In case of a libglib soname bump, the udev package could be forgotten as it can't be tracked via the package dependencies. This opens the door to silent failures. * 70-acl.rules is unnecessarily executed when either libglib or consolekit is not installed. This wastes CPU time. Splitting udev-acl+70-acl.rules into a separate packag would solve those problems. This package could/would depend on consolekit and in return udev (and/or consolekit) could recommend that package. What do you think? Do you see any problems with this approach?
