Package: libmms-dev
Version: 0.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

The public headers for libmms in libmms-dev include "bswap.h", which
includes "glib.h". This is a needless dependency, because nothing in the
*headers* actually uses any of the macros from bswap, nor do they use
anything from glib.h.

I realize that in *building* libmms, it uses some macros from glib, but
since those macros are not needed or referenced by any users of libmms,
this needs to be fixed.

Alternately, libmms-dev could have a real package dependency on the
correct glib development package, but since libmms itself doesn't link
to glib, this would be very silly. =)
