Re: RFS: ustr

Hi,

first thing I can recommend: Don't use cdbs for that. That just doesn't
work for building proper library packages.
You also want to read
http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html
and
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-libraries

After reading the second link you should realize that you need to build
the static library with other options than the normal .so (hint: -fPIC,
also check for -D_REENTRANT)

Chances are good that a -dbg package would make more sense then this
debug library weirdness.
