I'd suggest that a wishlist bug is filed against lintian to set an error if any package (source or binary) lists a dependency (or even Recommends) on the packaging-dev binary. Time should be allowed for lintian to implement this check before this package is uploaded, unless the lintian maintainers disagree. It would also be sensible to have a summary of the quoted paragraph in the package description. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
