Libraries are often distributed in two packages : one contains the binaries, and the other one contains anything useful for compiling a program using the library. Sometimes, there's even a third package which contains the docs. I think that it could be usefull to somewhat link those packages together so that apt can download the packages the needed to compile a source package.
What first comes to my mind is to add a new kind of dependency called `devel'. For instance, libjpeg62 would depend on libjpeg62-dev through this dependency. Does it sound sensible ? -- Laurent Martelli [EMAIL PROTECTED]
