aqwa『emboss』$ grep -A6 emboss-lib debian/control
Package: emboss-lib
Section: libs
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Description: EMBOSS Libraries
This package is being emptied. For the moment it contains a eplplot, an EMBOSS
fork of the plplot library.
eplplot is not to be used by any other package than emboss and the embassy-*
packages. I would prefer it to be kept separate from the ajax and nucleus
libraries, because it is a part that I hope can be removed in the future (but
it may take years).
I have no intention to support more than one release of EMBOSS at the same
time; I do not think that the above section of the Policy applies to the
emboss-lib package. In particular, the ‘eplplot’ fork of the plplot library is
not intended for use by any other software than the EMBOSS and the EMBASSY
suites, which are distributed by the same upstream developers.
Shall I ask our archive administrators to change the section of emboss-lib to
underline that fact?
