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.
