Should be discussed further. This package contains besides header files C source files too. Ustr is not ordinary library.

Latest package libsemanage 2.0.9-1 uses it already. sid:~# apt-cache rdepends libustr-1.0-1 libustr-1.0-1 Reverse Depends: libsemanage1 python-semanage libustr-dev libustr-1.0-1-dbg libsemanage1-dev libsemanage1 >... > I'll review it this week.
