Masanori referred me to section 3.3 regarding this problem I have with building Gnome apps; basically headers are required to be contained in packages that are only in BuildDepends but not in Depends.
The problem is that building some Gnome packages require a lot of dependencies: for example, with gtetrinet2, its dependencies include:
- libgnomeui2-dev. libgnomeui2 depends on libbonoboui and any package depending on libgnomeui2-dev would in turn depend on libbonoboui-dev, but due to section 3.3 it would have to explicitly depend on libbonoboui-dev instead of the dependency being resolved by libgnomeui-dev
- libgnomecanvas2-dev and libart2 - libgnome2-dev and gnome-vfs-dev | gnome-vfs-ssl-dev
Some Gnome header files basically #include other header files, so they should be allow to depend on packages containing those header files - would it be possible to amend 3.3 to allow this?
