Bug#999738: runtime deps on -dev library symlinks not caught



Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

I've had a couple bugs recently, including 999699, where upstream
Makefile.am content has resulted in binaries delivered in a .deb having
a run-time dependency on the symlinks provided in the library -dev
package instead of the ".0" version of those files provided in the
actual library packages.

It would be nice if lintian were to notice and warn about these cases,
particularly if the -dev package isn't explicitly specified as a binary
package dependency (as it probably shouldn't be in most cases?).
