It makes after FreeType 2.1.4 release (please see > freetype-2.1.4/debian/patches/001-freetype-2.1.4+cvs20030601.diff). If this is true, then, FreeType maintainer: *please stop doing this*. Debian needs to have FreeType packages that are compatible with the rest of the world's FreeType packages. Perhaps what we really need is a freetype-snapshot package, which ships a libfreetype6-snapshot package which Conflicts/Replaces/Provides: libfreetype6. For reasons that should be obvious, there should be no snapshot -dev package at all. Please, please, please, I beg of you, do not break binary compatibility in library packages. -- G.
