Dependency of a single binary package
Taking ruby-taglib2 as just an example, it contains binaries for both
Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.1 in a single package.
% apt-file list ruby-taglib2
ruby-taglib2: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/taglib2_ext.so
ruby-taglib2: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/taglib2_ext.so
ruby-taglib2: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/taglib.rb
ruby-taglib2: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/taglib2.rb
...
However, it depends on libruby1.8 or libruby1.9.1.
Should it depend on both?
Although I have little idea on very details of Dependency
interpretation, are users installing ruby1.8.7.334 (latest) and
ruby1.9.2.0 (old) allowed to use this library with the old
ruby1.9.1.0?
