The package description for binutils-dev says the following: >Description: The GNU binary utilities (BFD development files) This > package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build > programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. > Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd > is Not Allowed. I see this in the binutils-dev package description, however I dont see it anywhere else, not in the policy, not in lintian/linda checks, not on any mailing lists.... I see a couple of people on debian-devel asking (a couple years ago) what the deal is with this, but no informative responses. Does anyone know *why* this is and why this isn't documented somewhere more visible? Thanks, micah
