All libstdc++*-dev packages provide libstdc++-dev
(apt-cacheo show libstdc++5-dev | grep Provides), but the
2.10 in brackets applies to the version not the soname
(which is 1:2995.4-15). then if you want to say you need
a libstdc++-dev of any soname, but preferably soname 5,
that'd be:
libstdc++5-dev | libstdc++-dev

lintian's sid version does. it's just a matter of replacing
"Author(s)" with "Authors"

Sure it will run on GNU/Hurd, at most it just needs porting :)
The most common problem are assumptions that MAXPATHLEN
and MAXHOSTNAMELEN are defined, which is not true for GNU.
If you care about portability, you can take a look at
common porting issues we encounter and try to avoid them:

IIRC that default was changed in Sid. I'd suggest to use
a Sid system for packaging and developement as you always
get the latest versions.
