Confusing versioning of libstdc++6[-...]



Dear Debian GCC Maintainers,

first I want to wish you a happy new year and thank you for your work.

This time I am a bit confused about some of the package names and
versions.

libstdc++6 is from source gcc-4.1, but libstdc++6-dbg, -dev, -doc, -pic
are
still from gcc-3.4. As a simple user I would expect that installing
libstdc++6[-...] give me everything in matching versions.

Is there any reason why libstdc++6[-...] are not only dependency
packages
depending on the respective package with the default compiler ABI, at
the
moment libstdc++6-4.1[-...]?

As long as we are in unstable this wouldn't be of high interest, but in
the
upcomming stable release some users could become very confused.

I hope this is not an already discussed issue, couldn't find an old
thread about it.

Greetings

Stephan Krempel
