I was also wondering about the C++ interface. While static libraries
waste disk space, they could be provided in a -devel package without
having to commit to ABI compatibility (if I understand Policy 8.3 well).
On the other hand, with a real lib package, we would have to maintain
the SONAMEs. If, as I fear, upstream won't help with this task, and this
beeing C++, I'm afraid it could be a difficult task.
I asked Carlo Segre for his input, as he is a consumer of this C++
interface.

Personnally, I always used cctbx in homegrown scripts (mostly sgtbx and
uctbx). For that kind of use, a big package is fine IMHO, as you don't
want to spend time cherry-picking the parts you need.
