Bug#541539: libkde4-ruby: binNMU-unsafe dependencies on libsmokeqt4-2 and libqtruby4shared2

["Aaron M. Ucko" <ucko@debian.org>]

Package: libkde4-ruby
Version: 4:4.3.0-1
Severity: important

libkde4-ruby has tight dependencies on libqtruby4shared2 and
libsmokeqt4-2; however, because those packages are
architecture-dependent but libkde4-ruby itself is not, binary-only
NMUs (as recently occurred to work around a glitch resulting in
unversioned dependencies on libc6) render them unsatsfiable.  I see
three general options:

- Move the dependencies to libkde4-ruby1.8 rather than imposing extra
  constraints from what should be a simple metapackage, or perhaps
  eliminate them altogether.

- Loosen them to account for possible rebuilds:
  libqtruby4shared2 (>= ${source:Version}),
  libqtruby4shared2 (<< ${source:Version}+c)
  libsmokeqt4-2 (>= ${source:Version}), libsmokeqt4-2 (<< ${source:Version}+c)

- Make libkde4-ruby nominally architecture-dependent.

At any rate, could you please correct the situation?

Thanks!
