dpkg-source doesn't care what is inside the upstream tarball, it will always unpack to foo-1.2.3/ and the Debian tarball/diff will be unpacked/applied so that foo-1.2.3/debian/ exists.
For info about library packaging, check out libpkg-guide but note its two deficiencies: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html Recommends using libfooX-dev (where X is the SONAME/ABI number) instead of libfoo-dev. Doesn't mention anything about symbols files, more info here: http://manpages.debian.net/man/1/dpkg-gensymbols http://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
