Take this up with James Troup (elmo) he previously rejected the packages
due to the splittage. As you can easily read from your own quote the
reason for not including binaries in library packages is so that
multiple versions can be installed at once. This _CAN NOT_ happen for
libarts regardless of if the binaries are split out of the package. So
leave my bug priorities alone.


Quoting you quoting policy 11.3:

    If your package has some run-time support programs which use the
    shared library you must not put them in the shared library package.
    If you do that then you won't be able to install several versions of
    the shared library without getting filename clashes.

That last sentence in my eyes at least renders the whole paragraph
meaningless in libarts case since it can never have multiple versions
installed. It won't work, period.

Thanks,
