 I can't remember the rationale, but the consensus was not what I
 expected. Should the binary package ‘Depends: python-dbg’, or should it
 instead ‘Recommends: python-dbg’? What's the rationale?

In http://wiki.debian.org/Python/DbgBuilds, we argued for ‘Recommends:
python-dbg’ if the package can be used without the debug interpreter (eg:
it contains the stripped debugging symbols for use with gdb); otherwise,
‘Depends: python-dbg’.

That covers it. Thank you.

Package relationships for python debug packages

2010-10-18 Thread Ben Finney 
Howdy all,

What relationship should be declared between a binary ‘python-foo-dbg’
package and the ‘python-dbg’ package?

My search-fu must be weak today. I remember a discussion somewhere
regarding Python extensions in C and the resulting ‘python-foo-dbg’
package.

I can't remember the rationale, but the consensus was not what I
expected. Should the binary package ‘Depends: python-dbg’, or should it
instead ‘Recommends: python-dbg’? What's the rationale?
