It does not appear to be required for the actual build? Likewise you do not need debhelper >= 7.0.50~ since you do not have any override targets. Regarding the library <-> application split; I am not entirely sure what is best. The best "similar" case I can think of would probably be fakeroot, which installs its helper library in /usr/lib/libfakeroot/ and then does without the lib-package. I also noticed that libeatmydata does the same. Admittedly it is far less likely to make sense to compile your application directly against one of those libraries. Nevertheless I doubt a lot of developers would link the production releases against this library either. ~Niels [1] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNIx7MAAoJEAVLu599gGRCw60P/iTIQOLRJGiQOvCagWbWF/yR HulQz4vkHJa9cXyNtDuGriSEhwjsjkYBB6eMJCbfvVO/6cbdbSZT3dTg2hbbn/C9 Uzos5Tez4oM3bdgfe4WGgF2BkpCjcX7dMUCcuKEvF6FzuIMqOgB6A4W2ACulUXw3 iky+FsB3Cea3VVVMsSm/+z2Z+9YHcqzj0bLPDWAgEDpVEwWRiL+GgYqQBBL86NEC 2EdPfJtrYioJFtwiCSPyavciTgI5ZIdbrP+oNPDJWD4cew9z/sWkHdMxOkZhms0L SKR3ar6ACKUxGkGkv8W0lWYgTJOhoHok9g3n1hIU+TF8P3CM+wOLGGgtNbitd3EL 5N1cXCwKNbCZOxxHjHRSYNISivPfAPaOaVKhXWtjQTWtPdU0tiN44Ai9T5FtUk2A 2WbTEB2rFETay/CnJsXARQ24oZuHo/TWE7tRbdHaLxjewXfnBoWaMoCaRQ6WYeeN MPF4Id0T++0CvCjYzeDpc4sofCkluG/V6+UqS86JW9042GNs/quqFyzJ7iT1ZLyQ 8z9QCAXDpH1xl1Npl34/Q/umvNdLAYAo1LyyPXQzaMxJL8C9QlaLLP+1d3B/HCtz nkXHwEuR+31KW2LoBolbf8PQ7SWbXUqHZRA8lyPI+9hbJ6KehpyuY+uI1R5BK7kD F+XyjNiRgUfEMbSDXPK4 =oqJ/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
