Bug#457570: Libs.private not used in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/Qt*.pc
Package: libqt4-dev
Version: 4.3.3-1
Severity: normal
Currently, the Libs fields in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/Qt*.pc are not split
into Libs and Libs.private. This means that unnecessary libraries are
linked to directly when programs are built with Qt 4.
I believe to correct way to do it is to list libraries which are
directly used (e.g. -lQtCore, -lQtGui) in Libs, and indirect libraries
in Libs.private (e.g. -lpng, -lXfixes). The private libraries are only
needed when linking statically.
