Package: quagga
Version: 0.99.22-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.4

As far as I understand packaging policy, header files and static libraries
must go in a -dev package, and not be included in the main package.
After all most people running a program are not going to be compiling
add ons for it.  Certainly the static library really doesn't make sense
to include.

It seems to me, quagga really should have a quagga package for the daemons,
a libquagga for the shared libraries, and a libquagga-dev for the headers
and static libraries.
