debian-ada-policy, dependency across -dev packages
Hello.
Templates-Parsers Build-Depends: XMLAda because one of its bodies uses
it. None of the interfaces depends on XMLAda.
Libtemplates-parser-dev in unstable does not Depends: libxmlada-dev,
and its /usr/share/ada/adainclude/templates-parsers.gpr does not
import xmlada.gpr. All works wells.
However, I wonder if this is good
Rationale: The intention is not that the user can recompile the
library from @file{/usr/share/ada/adainclude/LIBRARY}; only that
they can use it in their Ada programs. They can always recompile
the library from the source package
or bad
Rationale: This allows programmers using GDB to trace the execution
of their programs into the library. See below @ref{The separate
debugging information package}.
Any opinions?
