Version: 2.7.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It's easy for the packaging of a shared library and its -dev package to go
wrong in a way that breaks dependent packages, and adding a superficial
autopkgtest that is run before upload can catch surprisingly many of
those situations. I think each -dev package in Debian would ideally have
one of these compile/link/run tests.
In the case of duktape, I've confirmed that running the attached test
against binaries from 2.7.0-1 fails (reproducing #1031801), while running
it against 2.7.0-2 succeeds.
