    The main advantage is to help developers have it in default search
path (library already is in but headers are not). And anyway the way it
is now does not have any advantages unfortunately.
    About too much effort - it will consist only of few lines changed. I
already made a package with this locally when I made my local tests since
I don't like idea to create configure file just to test something, it's
just overkill. ;-) So believe me, it is NOT too much effort.

    As for packagers - you're completely right, you'll probably never
ship 2 different versions of development package (since package manager
would not allow install of 2 packages of the same name but different
versions) so nothing will be changed for you, it is the change only for
developers sake.

    With best regards.
