There are some applications that need a libev source tree to be built, because they are building it specialized for themselves. This way of using libev is intented by upstream.
Still, having code copies in the archive is less than optimal for the security team. If you provided a libev-source package that contained the source tree, packages like rxvt-unicode and libev-perl could use that to build it. Then, if there were security issues in libev, we'd just have to update libev and then rebuild the reverse dependencies against the new libev-source. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
