I can't believe you're dismissing this with such arguments. I'll repeat what Ryan said: it is NOT your job to invent sonames. That is upstream's job.

Can you not see this is a very important breakage, and not being able to install two -dev packages isn't? -- Jordi Mallach Pérez || jordi@pusa.informat.uv.es || Rediscovering Freedom, aka Oskuro in || jordi@sindominio.net || Using Debian GNU/Linux Reinos de Leyenda || jordi@debian.org || http://www.debian.org/ http://sindominio.net GnuPG public information: pub 1024D/917A225E telnet pusa.uv.es 23 73ED 4244 FD43 5886 20AC 2644 2584 94BA 917A 225E
