Bug#251707: including precompiled headers in package seems to be useless



Package: libstdc++6-dev
Version: 3.4.0-2
Severity: normal

libstdc++6-dev package includes pre-compiled headers in
/usr/include/c++/3.4/i486-linux/bits/stdc++.h.gch/ directory.

These "system-wide" precompiled headers occupy 35 megabytes (on x86), and
look to be useless, given all the limitations gcc precompiled headers support
currently has (i.e. same set of #define-s whe headers are generated and used).
Precompiled headers may be used by a project, but not system-wide.

If there is some rationale to have system-wide precompiled header files,
probably they should be packaged separately.
