Package: lintian Version: 2.5.58 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Policy 8.5 recommends ("should") for a -dev package to have an install dependency on the respective runtime library. It seems lintian does not check for this but I think it should. Hopefully, implementation would not that difficult: In debian/control, identify <slug>-dev packages, in the libdevel section, and if there's a related <slug><soname> package in the lib section, the -dev package should have a strict versioned dependency on the runtime library. The latter is actually already covered by "weak-library-dev-dependency". Regards, Christoph
