Hi Geert, There has been some discussion into that direction on a Debian bugreport [0], might be helpful to connect this discussion thread to that discussion. The bug report has not seen any activity for quite some time though. Regards, Wolfgang. [0] https://bugs.debian.org/949163

main-dev
Hello, This is about evolving Debian further, for getting beyond a growing pain. In upstream sources are many libraries, crates, modules and such[0]. Those files are needed during development[1] and packaged for Debian for that reason. They are not needed for running the compiled program. What I want, is to explore if we put those libraries in a special corner of the Debian Package Archive, something like 'main-dev'. Having a different kind of packages means we can threat them differently. Which benefits will it bring? One such thing could be that multiple versions of same library exist. ( foo version 0.2 needing baz v0.3.4 and bar v2.0 needing baz v0.3.3 ) Actual goal I want to achieve (goal we Debian should want to achieve) is having various ways to improve the process of getting upstream development files into Debian. Yeah, currently I think it is too tedious to keep with the pace of upstream. What would be needed to catch-up? Regards Geert Stappers [0] to complete the list, additions welcome.
