Package: libmirclient-dev Section: libdevel Architecture: i386 amd64 armhf arm64 Multi-Arch: same Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends} Depends: libmirclient8 (= ${binary:Version}), libmircommon-dev (= ${binary:Version}), <============== libprotobuf-dev (>= 2.4.1), ${misc:Depends}, This is presently correct as our client headers use headers from libmircommon-dev. However a client developer can't link directly to any symbols exported by libmircommon.so.*. So the dependency exists for headers only. Maybe we can somehow reduce the dependency further so that client developers are not forced to install libmircommon-dev and the C++ that comes with it.
