We'll have to do a load of changes to the library packages when we introduce multiarch in etch anyhow; can't we do this at the same time? (Ie.: "New policy says you must follow multiarch, and make -dbg packages in libdevel-dbg"). I fail to see the big point of -dbg for non-libraries, though. Archive bloat is still a problem, though. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
