severity 705306 wishlist thank you The Policy Section 8 also says:
--cut here-- This section deals only with public shared libraries: shared libraries that are placed in directories searched by the dynamic linker by default or which are intended to be linked against normally and possibly used by other, independent packages. Shared libraries that are internal to a particular package or that are only loaded as dynamic modules are not covered by this section and are not subject to its requirements. --cut here-- There are no reverse build dependencies on quagga package, so we can quite easily classify those libraries as internal. I am also not aware of any common software on top of quagga libraries. It would be nice to have quagga package cleanup and split into quagga, libquagga0 and libquagga-dev[*], but this hardly qualifies as RC bug. * or just to drop the *.h, *.a and *.la from the main package and add them only when somebody asks for them.
