Reasons for removal of several files from linux-libc-dev?

["Richard Hartmann" <richih.mailinglist@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I noticed that several files have been removed from linux-libc-dev, recently.
While, for example, /usr/include/linux/user.h can be replaced by the various
linux header packages, other include files have become rare.
/usr/include/asm/user.h is only available from libuclibc-dev now. Unless I
mis-understand the purpose of libuclibc-dev, embedded systems, this
might pose a problem. Point in case, the above makes cryopid FTBFS
in current sid.

I am wondering why those files, and others, have been removed and
wanted to ask if there are plans to provide a single (meta)package with
a stable name that could be used as build dep.


Thanks,
Richard
