Dear David,

I'm pleased to hear that you are still working on it!

the libraries have relatively strong dependencies. Thus, I would prefer the 
second option since it would not be useful to split them up.

In my institute, there are external applications which build upon these 
libraries. If I understand you correctly, the (anticipated) libodin1-dev 
package would then contain the headers and libs of all Odin libraries, 
installed under /usr/include and /usr/lib so that the external applications 
can be easily compiled against them?

Best wishes, Thies
