Dear Fink developers,

I've run into a packaging problem on one of the submitted packages in the
tracker.

The package is a kind of development environment used by high-energy
physicists.  It consists of a bunch of libraries together with some
executables which help you use those libraries in working with your
own code.  (I might be describing this slightly incorrectly; I've
not used this package myself.)

The main executable won't start up unless the headers for the libs are
present.  So it seems like the binaries and headers should be packaged
together.  On the other hand, other things may depend on this, so the
BuildDependsOnly=True flag does not seem appropriate.

Any thoughts on how to make this conform to Fink policy, or else how to
rephrase the policy to allow for this exception but not let in other things
which we find objectionable?

  Thanks,
  Dave
