This is particularly true when they use Libs vs. Libs.private properly (and Requires vs. Requires.private), since then they also prevent overlinking the resulting binaries. The MIT ones seem reasonably okay, although I would argue with inclusion of -lcom_err in Libs given that krb5_get_error_message is a thing that's existed for years. The Heimdal ones currently put everything in Libs, which makes them much less useful. Jelmer, let me know if you'd like me to file a bug about that. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
