Public bug reported:
I'm sure this has been noted before but I can't find an explanation.
Why are non-major version numbers in the package names for the openldap
libraries? Package names like 'libldap-2.4-2' seem to make it unnecessarily
hard to package third party software with sensible dependencies.
Is there a good excuse for this?
I don't know a huge amount about debian packaging but is there an
obvious way another package could specify something like "libldap >
2.3"? Would that be possible if the libldap2.4blahblah package had a
'provides' specification?
Cheers,
Tim
