Package: libfluidsynth-dev Version: 1.1.6-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The development package for FluidSynth depends on a number of other development packages with no apparent reasons. Those packages are obviously necessary to build FluidSynth, but they do not appear necessary to build applications using FluidSynth. Thus they should be build-dependencies of the source package fluidsynth but there is no need for the binary pacakge libfluidsynth-dev to depend on them. In particular, I cannot see any #include in the public FluidSynth header files, or any library mentioned in fluidsynth.pc to justify these: libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libjack*-dev libsdnfile-dev and probably even libglib2.0-dev and libreadline-dev. On the other hand, libfluidsynth-dev should perhaps depend on libc-dev as it needs <stdio.h>. For me, this is an issue, as it needlessly causes a conflict between libfluidsynth-dev:amd64 and libasound2-plugins:i386 (by way of JACK)...
