Another issue came up when packaging 0.35, lintian complained:
W: shishi-dbg: dbg-package-missing-depends shishi
N:
N: This package has a name of the form of "X-dbg", indicating it contains
N: detached debugging symbols for the package X. If so, it should depend
N: on the corresponding package, generally with (= ${binary:Version})
N: since the debugging symbols are only useful with the binaries created
N: by the same build.
N:
That was likely because 'shishi-dbg' only depend on libshishi (=
${binary:Version}), not the other packages for which it also contains
debugging information.
I did install the following fix:
-Depends: libshishi0 (= ${binary:Version})
+Depends: libshishi0 (= ${binary:Version}),
+ libshisa0 (= ${binary:Version}),
+ shishi (= ${binary:Version}),
+ shisa (= ${binary:Version}),
+ shishi-kdc (= ${binary:Version}),
+ libpam-shishi (= ${binary:Version})
But then I realized this probably isn't a good idea... a user should be
able to install 'shishi-dbg' without having to pull in shishi-kdc etc.
How can this be resolved? Should there be one -dbg package for each
binary package? I.e., libshishi0-dbg, libshisa0-dbg, shishi-dbg,
shisa-dbg, shishi-kdc-dbg, libpam-shishi-dbg? That seems quite
wasteful, but I'm not sure how to avoid it.
