Thanks for your preparation.  I had a look at it.  I realised that the
package does contain several header files and static libraries.  I guess
this was the case also before but I never noticed.  Are you sure that we
should ship *.h and *.a files inside the plastimatch binary package?

The usual way to provide such files are lib<name>-dev packages and
usually also some dynamic library is provided containing *.so files
where the binaries in /usr/bin/* are linked against.

Could you please explain your motivation to do the package that way?

Thanks for the hint.  I added this example to the bug report and for the
moment worked around it manually.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
