They have been introduced because the libav* libraries do use a
number of internal APIs that are not supposed by external
applications. This means that within a point release, some library may
introduce or relocate internal symbols so that mixing them would
potentially break of not all binary packages come from the same source
package.
I think we should keep them. However, I see room for simplification.
Since libav-extra is now built from the same source package, we no
longer need ranges, but can declare strict dependencies on the exact
version. I think the following should do:
dh_makeshlibs -p$$pkg -V$$pkg (= $${binary:Version}) | $$upkg (=
$${binary:Version}));
Regarding libpostproc, AFAIUI libpostproc does not make use of
internal APIs, so strictly speaking, the tight internal dependencies
are not necessary.

Please keep the strict internal dependencies for the reasons Reinhard mentioned. One should not mix libraries of e.g. version 0.x from testing with 0.x.y from unstable. The libraries should transition in one single rush and this should be made sure by their internal dependencies. But I also think the internal dependencies should get simplified -- in a way that the alternative dependencies on the -extra flavours should get dropped for all libraries but libavcodec, which is the only one that actually provides a reasonable -extra variant. - Fabian ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
