Bug#884865: Response?

[Brett Johnson <brett@lunarg.com>]

Oh, also, my thoughts on splitting spirv-tools were that it didn't need splitting, as the whole package is a "-dev" package in itself.  I.e. even though it produces libraries, executables, and headers, they're all part of the same package, they're all only used for development, and don't really need to be separated.  YMMV though, and the /bin executables could easily be split into their own package if you think that's cleaner.  Builddep for glslang and libvulkan would depend on both packages though.

I've pushed spirv-headers, -tools and glslang here:

https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/vulkan

spirv-headers was uploaded already, but -tools needs some bikeshedding
on how to split it, and glslang obviously needs this information for
build-depends.
