And the sentence continues [...] , or if you prefer only to support one development version at a time, libraryname-dev. [...] IMHO adding the so-name to the -dev package makes only sense if the different -dev packages can co-exist, like , e.g., libgtk2.0-dev and libgtk3-dev, something that is clearly not the case for the libdcmtkN-dev packages, because here we talk about a transition.
