Bug#682004: pythia8-root-interface: Remove hard dependence on root-system and libroot-core-dev, add rootmap file

[Pavel Reznicek]

Package: pythia8-root-interface
Version: 8.1.65-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

  would it be possible to replace the dependence of this package on root-system
and libroot-core-dev just by recommendation ? The package is pure code only and
thus it will also work with other (e.g. locally self-compiled) ways of ROOT
installations.

Also, it might be usefull to include a /usr/lib/libpythia8.rootmap file to
allow automatic library loading in the interactive ROOT sessions. The content
of the roomap file should be these two lines:

Library.Pythia8: /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libpythia8.so /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libLHAPDF.so /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libhepmcinterface.so
Library.Pythia:  /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libpythia8.so /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libLHAPDF.so /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libhepmcinterface.so

(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH replaced by x86_64-linux-gnu etc.).

Thanks,
Pavel
