Bug#552729: weak-library-dev-dependency

[Goswin von Brederlow <goswin-v-b@web.de>]

Hi,

please keep multiarch in mind, which is still a release goal for
squeeze.

Under multiarch shared libraries belong under

/usr/lib/arch-os-libc/

as do their *.so links. As such there can be no arch:all dev package
as each arch has a unique path.

So maybe it is time to make your -dev package arch:any or split it
into -dev and -dev-common now and adapt lintian to cope with the way
packages will be under multiarch. Little point in fixing something
that is going to fade away.

MfG
