Comment(by hamish):
rasdaman left behind a number of -dev packages in beta3, hopefully that is
fixed now.
here's a conundrum: Things like QGIS, GRASS, and R have extension/addon
managers to install extra packages. At least in the case of GRASS and R
these can be compiled modules, which in turn can depend on having libproj-
dev and libgdal(1)-dev installed.
Especially libgdal(1)-dev sucks in a whole host of other -dev pkg
dependencies, all of which take up some room of their own.
We do ship libc6-dev and gcc etc to allow the disc to be generally used
for e.g. stuck-in-an-airport development and further customization.
The addon extensions can make up a significant part of the community
ecosystem. Do we get rid of all the geo-dev pacakges and save some disc
space, or do we keep them, allow the building of addons, and try to
recover the disc space elsewhere?
