New upstream source tarball introduces a new shared library



Hi folks,

I work on the packaging for capnproto.

Upstream has provided a new source tarball that introduces a new shared library (libkj). Theoretically, this shared library is stand-alone & could be used independently, but it is likely only interesting to users of capnproto in the short term.

In the developer's words:

"It can exist independently, and some day it might be "marketed" as a separate library.  For now, though, it is bundled with Cap'n Proto and used only by Cap'n Proto users.  Unless Debian mandates breaking these out or we actually see some demand for KJ being separate, I don't think we need to divide the package yet."

I *think* I should extract libkj as a separate binary package & am currently proceeding under that assumption, but thought I'd ask here RE: whether I'm correct. Do I really need to split out libkj at this time?

Thanks!

Tom
