Package: libstdc++6-4.1-dev Version: 4.1.1-14 Severity: normal
Hi, Currently libstdc++6-4.1-dev depends on g++-4.1, and vice-versa. While I think it's reasonable for g++ to depend on libstdc++-dev, I don't see a good reason why libstdc++-dev must depend on g++, and I suggest that this is reduced to a Recommends: or Suggests:. In my case I wanted to install libstdc++-dev to use with a cross-compiler on another machine, with the libstdc++ include files visible via an NFS mount.
