Re: Bug#474702: fixing djvulibre dependencies and upgrades



(flames ignored)

You can do a minimal lenny update if you want, I won't stop you.

But there is a good reason to split the library into the textual
support files vs code: it allows different versions of the library to
co-exist, e.g., libdjvulibre15 and libdjvulibre21.  Which may not be
so useful for a pure bleeding-edge system where everything is compiled
against the latest-and-greatest, which is what developers usually
have; but is useful for smooth upgrades and for configurations of many
of our typical "stable" users.

Although this is a library it is not a "core" library: it is used by
only a handful of packages, and all work fine with the latest version.
The truth is that lenny users would be better off with the latest
version, and it is pretty easy to check and see that it doesn't break
anything.
