The whole discussion is not new of course -- this was discussed years ago. My suggestion back then was to add an explicit "RuntimeDepends" field for this, and migrate over to that.
I don't really see the point of this, it's poorly packaged programs that will break anyhow. So we just start enforcing it and end of story new new loops, no new field to process. Kinda feel odd saying this as you normally don't want a new field and I'm on the other side :D
Fixing the pkgs will not break old fink and needs no new version or the info file, which BTW at the moment I'd like to avoid at ALL costs, since it's a very ugly mech we have for it as of right now.
Finally, I wonder about the {SHLIB_DEPS} syntax -- yet another variation to our deps syntax? Hm, I wonder whether it might be better to simply add a new field for this:
AutomaticallyAddShlibsDeps: true
(gee, the field name is just a dummy, feel free to think of a better name :-)
With my last comment about Info versions I agree with this part and think it's a good idea and very easy to change to, I think just AddShlibDeps: would be enough, but I get the idea.
And since I don't see you around (irc) anymore could I ask that you move curl-config into the -dev pkgs of curl and curl-ssl.
