Package: libpoco-dev
Version: 1.3.3p1-1
Severity: normal

I consider libpoco-dev's strict Depends: relationship on libpoco*6-dbg
to be excessive, as they take up a fair bit of extra disk space and
aren't actually necessary to its operation -- autobuilders can
obviously do without them when building reverse dependencies, and even
human developers may wish to install them selectively, if it all.

As such, could you please downgrade the relevant relationship from
Depends: to either Recommends: or Suggests:?  If you want to continue
to make it easy to install them all together, you can always introduce
a corresponding libpoco6-dbg metapackage (on which libpoco-dev could
declare a suitable non-strict relationship), taking care of course to
maintain binNMU-safety by avoiding overstrict arch-all -> arch-any
relationships.

Thanks!
