In case anyone is interested in filing mass bug reports (I am not sufficiently interested, sorry), here are the -dev packages in unexpected sections, obtained as follows:
grep-aptavail -r -P '.*-dev$' -s Section,Package | paste -sd ' \n' | \ egrep -v '^Section: (|contrib/|non-free/)(doc|python|(lib|)devel)' | \ cut -d ' ' -f 4 | sort I excluded packages in libdevel,devel,python,doc from the list since: - the packages in doc are all manpage-dev type packages - the packages in python are mainly things like python-qt-dev Below that is the same list piped into dd-list (sorry, dd-list apparently can only output source package names). aleph-dev atm-dev beagle-dev cernlib-core-dev cimg-dev cli-common-dev courier-authlib-dev dpkg-dev gdk-imlib11-dev glutg3-dev gmpc-dev gnome-applets-dev imlib11-dev irssi-dev jsvc-dev k3d-dev kaffe-dev kdeutils-dev kdevelop3-dev konwert-dev libapr1.0-dev libapreq2-dev libaprutil1.0-dev libcapplet1-dev libcdg123-dev libdb4.2-java-dev libdb4.3-java-dev libdb4.4-java-dev libdspam7-dev libfontenc-dev libgal-dev libgd-dev libgd-noxpm-dev libgd-xpm-dev libgdchart-gd1-noxpm-dev libgdchart-gd1-xpm-dev libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgdk-pixbuf-gnome-dev libghc6-plugins-dev libghc6-pugs-dev libghttp-dev libgl1-mesa-directfb-dev libgle-dev libglib1.2-dev libgnokii2-dev libgnome-media-dev libgtk1.2-dev libicee-dev libkexi-dev libmodplug-dev libmodxslt0-dev libmpd-dev libnautilus-burn-dev libnet0-dev libnmz7-dev libnws-dev libqcad0-dev libqgis0-dev libqglviewer-dev libsdl-ttf1.2-dev libstk0-dev libttf-dev libverbiste0-dev libvncserver-dev libxfont-dev libxmpp4r-ruby1.8-dev ltp-dev madwifi-dev med-bio-dev med-imaging-dev mnogosearch-dev mozilla-thunderbird-dev nut-dev nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-glx-legacy-dev perdition-dev pike7.6-dev pinball-dev planetpenguin-racer-gimp-dev playground-dev plplot-tcl-dev rsbac-dev supercollider-dev svgalibg1-dev swish-e-dev thunderbird-dev vdr-dev x11proto-bigreqs-dev x11proto-composite-dev x11proto-core-dev x11proto-damage-dev x11proto-dmx-dev x11proto-evie-dev x11proto-fixes-dev x11proto-fontcache-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-gl-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev x11proto-print-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-record-dev x11proto-render-dev x11proto-resource-dev x11proto-scrnsaver-dev x11proto-trap-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xcmisc-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xf86bigfont-dev x11proto-xf86dga-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-xf86misc-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev xorg-dev xserver-xorg-dev xtrans-dev xutils-dev Guenter Geiger (Debian/GNU) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> stk Stefan Hornburg (Racke) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> courier-authlib Peter De Schrijver (p2) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> linux-atm Domenico Andreoli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libnet0 Thomas Bushnell, BSG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gal0.x imlib libcapplet Sebastien Bacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> verbiste Paul Brossier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> supercollider Ross Burton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nautilus-cd-burner Javier Carranza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qcad Debian Apache Maintainers <debian-apache@lists.debian.org> apr-util1.0 apr1.0 Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> kdeutils Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org> libfontenc libxfont x11proto-bigreqs x11proto-composite x11proto-core x11proto-damage x11proto-dmx x11proto-evie x11proto-fixes x11proto-fontcache x11proto-fonts x11proto-gl x11proto-input x11proto-kb x11proto-randr x11proto-record x11proto-render x11proto-resource x11proto-scrnsaver x11proto-trap x11proto-video x11proto-xcmisc x11proto-xext x11proto-xf86bigfont x11proto-xf86dga x11proto-xf86dri x11proto-xf86misc x11proto-xf86vidmode x11proto-xinerama xorg xorg-server xtrans xutils-dev Dpkg Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> konwert Randall Donald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nvidia-graphics-drivers nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy Ludovic Drolez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libvncserver swish-e Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> freetype1 Jochen Friedrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pinball David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> playground Jan-Marek Glogowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libcdg123 Debian Mono Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cli-common Debian QA Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kexi libghttp Steinar H.
