That would be absolutely fantastic, yes. Also a symlink from
libv8.so-> libnode.so woulde be handy, because libv8 doesn't use
pkg-config anywhere else so most bindings just test for linking with
-lv8.
Ok then no pkgconfig and a symlink instead.
I suppose i need to ask a removal of libv8 from unstable (it's removed from testing) to
be able to "take" libv8-dev. Or maybe declare a libv8-in-nodejs-dev package ?
In any case i don't know if i should make a libv8-xx package (which would basically be
symlinks to libnode).
Any advice is welcome...
