Package: libfreetype6-dev
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
There are spurious dependencies in freetype2.pc:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype -lz
-lz is _not_ needed in Libs (since the -lfreetype interface
doesn't depend on -lz interface) and just brings an unneeded
dependency. It should rather be put in Libs.private:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfreetype
Libs.private: -lz
(so that static compiling still works).

Version: 2.3.9-1
The latest upstream release of freetype fixes the pkg-config so that -lz is
no longer pulled in as a transitive dependency when dynamically linking.
Cheers,
