Perhaps changing "placed in" to "placed in > or installed by". Or something along those lines. Hmm, how about this? (I can't quite see how to keep it to a single sentence of reasonable length.) "If there are development files associated to a shared library, the source package needs to generate a binary development package called librarynamesoversion-dev, or if you prefer only to support one development version at a time, libraryname-dev. Installing the development package must result in installation of all the development files." This change would leave the door open for development files to be split up into separate packages as needed, as long as lib<whatever>-dev depends upon all of them, either directly or indirectly. - -- Kevin B.
