PW#5-13: New virtual packages
[This mail is part of Debian Policy Weekly issue #5]
Topic 13: New virtual packages
STATE: APPROVAL
The following virtual packages have been requested: `pascal-compiler' and
`libc-dev'.
Some packages like noweb need to depend/suggest a pascal-compiler and we
have at least two pascal compilers now: gpc, and p2c. With that, I think it
would be good to have this virtual package. (Note, that we already have
virtual packages for `c-compiler' and `fortran77-compiler'.)
The `libc-dev' package has already been used for a while for packages, which
depend on the development package of a libc.
Unless someone objects, these virtual packages will be added to the
authoritative list.
