Science people: I'm looking at the sundials packaging again. This is an umbrella library that has several different sub-libraries for
- different ODE solvers - linear algebra backends used by these solvers The granularity question came up earlier, and some of you pointed me to a section in the policy (section 8.1) that indicates that putting at least each solver into its own separate package is the right thing to do. What about the -dev package? I THINK putting everything into a single libsundials-dev is OK, and shouldn't break anything. Is the only downside the unnecessary dependencies a user would need to install (for instance a user that only wants serial computations would need to install all the parallel libraries)? How frowned-upon is this? A joint libsundials-dev would simplify some things, and make stuff less error-prone. I can do a finer split, but want to make sure this is worth the trouble first.
