For example, there are packages that provide programming environments for
users.  The "root3" package is one example.  Quoting root3.info:


DescPackaging: <<
This package has a somewhat unorthodox split-off due to the fact that
root relies on a C++ interpreter. Thus the header files are needed to
run root interactively and it does not make sense to single the header
files out into another split-off (root3-dev for example).
