Thanks for the feedback.  I've fixed these issues, but kept the
transitional package for libelementary-dev.  stable & sid have it,
but it comes from the old separate elementary source.

All pending updates plus an upgrade to 1.20.5 have been pushed to:
https://github.com/rvandegrift/efl/tree/debian/experimental

I've tested upgrades from current sid & experimental, including
replacing old -dev packages.  Ready for review when you get a chance.

(mentors isn't accepting my upload right now, I can try again later if
you'd like to see a built package.)

Thanks,
Ross

Hello,
I agree that it probably is not a wise use of resources to try to
support this szenario if upstream does not.

I have not yet read over the patch in detail, I just have three quick
notes:

Priority: extra is no more, please use optional.

The following packages have never been present in stable (or even sid),
so there is no need for dummy packages:
libector-dev
libelementary-dev
libelocation-dev
libelput-dev
libelua-dev
libemile-dev
libeolian-dev
libephysics-dev

libefl-all-dev needs Breaks/Replaces for both dropped (list above) and
turned-into-dummpy packages.

Hmm, two concerns about this solution:

1) lintian finds a circular dependency
  libecore-dev libector-dev libeet-dev libeeze-dev libeina-dev libemile-dev 
libevas-dev
I don't know for sure that it's a problem here, but in the past the team
has worked hard to avoid cycles.

2) Upstream doesn't really support builds against part of EFL (and
hasn't since the library merge before 1.8).  I think we generally ought
to avoid supporting scenarios that upstream doesn't.

Instead, what if all of the -dev packages were merged into
libefl-all-dev?  Sample patch is attached.  It's mildly tested:
enlightenment from experimental builds, and the resulting Depends look
correct.  What do you think?

I've pushed the accumulated fixes to:
https://github.com/rvandegrift/efl/tree/debian/experimental
I've added this patch at:
https://github.com/rvandegrift/efl/tree/debian/experimental-next

Thanks,
Ross
