Package: libsecp256k1-0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer,
libsecp256k1 can be built with "experimental" ECDH support. This adds an
additional symbol to the shared object. I have used this ECDH support for years
(built myself), and have had no issues with it. It is only experimental because
the API might change. Consumers of the library should know this. Note that
libsecp256k1 has never had a stable release, so even functions not marked
"experimental" are vulnerable to the same kind of API breakage.
I request building with ECDH support.
