Bug#802587: at least, warn about absence of libgtest library package

[Joachim Wuttke]

Given that, can you restate what problem you encountered using the package?

Somehow I discovered that there is a libgtest-dev in Debian, and a
FindGTest in cmake. So I installed libgtest-dev on my system, removed
ThirdParty/gtest from my project, changed CMakeList.txt files, tried
to rebuild the project, saw that FindGTest did not find the library,
investigated the problem, and finally discovered that libgtest-dev
is deceptive in that it does not pull in the binary without which
it is useless.

Therefore I consider the current state of affairs as untenable,
which is also attested by the high number of views of the

discussion thread at http://askubuntu.com/questions/145887/why-no-library-files-installed-for-google-test.

A clear word about the missing dependency on the nonexistent
library package in the description of libgtest-dev would have had
the potential of saving me considerable time. I do not insist that
it be labelled »warning«.
