Package: pkg-kde-tools
Version: 0.15.18
The current status of c++ symbols file in debian is that there is a single symbols generator (
http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/symbolfiles.html).
Right now the strategy for merging symbols is using the `subst` keyword, however `subst` is a kde-* extension since it has never been integrated in dpkg (#533916).
Would it be possible to have a different merging strategy based on `arch-bits` instead ? This would allow external kde-* packages to have simple management of c++ symbols files (eg.: vtk, openvdb, gdcm, openexr, ilmbase...), without adding build-dependencies on pkg-kde-tools.
Feel free to re-assign to dpkg, if there is a strong reason for having `subst` support over `arch-bits=32|64` in pkg-kde-tools.
Thanks for comments.
