OK, I have this package, libicu16, which contains libraries only. The libraries are not really useful w/o the data contained in the icu package, but it is reasonable to expect later libraries to work w/ the same data, hence the separation. Also, the icu package has binaries which depend on libicu16.
Right now I have libicu16 suggests icu, but I'd really would like to express something like: Package: libicu16 Depends: icu (>= 1.6.0.1) since if one drops icu, libicu16 isn't very useful. but then I also have: Package: icu Depends: libicu16 (>= 1.6.0.1) Is Pre-Depends a help for me here? Should icu Pre-Depends on libicu16, or the opposite? YA -- My opinions do not necessarily reflect my company's. The opposite is also true.
