Yes, this is what I wrote at the end of my mail. But this is ok if they're for private-use-only. > libodin-dbg (I'm not really convinced, perhaps you are doing some > work which is of really rare use, but I would leave > the decision to you) That's common practice in library packaging -- if a bug shows up, gdb isn't really useful if no debugging symbols are provided. And, it's just simpler telling a user "do apt-get install libodin-dbg" then "do: apt-get source odin apt-get build-dep odin DEBBUILDOPTS=nostrip debian/rules binary dpkg -i ../... " Do you agree? ;) (in my vision, *we* are the maintainer with coding/packaging skills, and should do everything to make users' life the easiest possible). > [..] > > > Then there is /usr/share/doc/odin/: > > > > $ tree > > . > > `-- [..] > > `-- sequences > > |-- odinepi.cpp > > |-- [..] > > `-- tj_verve.cpp > > $ > > Hmm, *.cpp sounds rather like 'examples' than 'sequences' ... > > > It's a total of 1,6M, so we can decide to have an extra single "odin-doc" > > package (I thought at odin-samples, odin-coils and odin-sequences, but those > > are just examples, so IMHO not worth having their own separated packages) > > Just move examples to the -dev package if they are not to large.

Asked upstream, CCed the list. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
