Yeah, it may be at that point -- the concern with a Lintian warning was that we didn't want to have people remove them when other packages still depended on them, and had at least one case of that which caused a bunch of problems. But if we analyzed the *.la file and checked dependency_libs, we could at least warn about that. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
