I agree it is not optimal. I have prepared a new revision that implements your suggestion #4. In the upcoming revision: Package googletest installs sources only Package libgtest-dev installs headers + lib for gtest New package libgmock-dev installs headers + lib for gmock Let me know if this works for you. I've just pushed it to Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/googletest > There are several solutions: > 1. Don't provide prebuild library. > 2.

I don't believe #3 is worth the trouble because (a) it breaks the automatic detection I've seen in some packages; and (b) the headers in /usr/src/googlest and in /usr/include are identical, so there's no real issue if the latter is used for a source build.
