So what happens if you have multiple library versions under Linux From
Scratch, then? I'm genuinely curious.
I still think separate -dev packages make compiling from source unnecessarily
complicated, and benefit only a minority who already have a clue how to deal
with the problems that would be caused by including -dev files in the main
packages. Even an APT option to always install -dev files would be an
improvement (especially if it was on by default for n00b installs).
