Right, because they are no problem with such packages because
Source-Version is equivalent to binary:Version. No? That was the whole
reason why source:Version was introduced. Source-Version is actually
binary:Version and was badly misnamed.
But Source-Version is safe in a library-dev -> library dependency. That
was what it was designed for.
I'm pretty sure this bug really is closed, but maybe I'm confused. If I'm
confused, I'd appreciate a correction.
