Hi again Juerg and all,

I want to mention that upstream Linux developers actually *do* care
about ABI stability.

For example, one of the commits broke ABI but it was quickly reverted
and then fixed in a way that does not change the ABI:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=41ddb7e1f79693d9

Please reconsider providing a public -dev package again. For
applications that want to know information about CPUs, the only
alternative is using libcpufreq. However that library is abandoned both
upstream and in Debian, and recently I have seen it returning junk data.

The affected applications are:

$ reverse-depends -b libcpufreq-dev -r focal
Reverse-Build-Depends
* cpufreqd
* gkrellm2-cpufreq
* gnome-applets
* mate-applets
* xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
