Bug#446618: wrong dependency in -dbg packages
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.8
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
>From section 6.7.9 Best practices for debug packages:
Note that the Debian package should depend on the package that it
provides debugging symbols for, and this dependency should be
versioned. For example:
Depends: libfoo-dbg (= ${binary:Version})
Here I think it should be:
Depends: libfoo (= ${binary:Version})
Since you don't want the non -dbg package to depend on the -dbg, while
the contrary makes sense to me.
