[pkg-fso-maint] shared library in binary-package?

[Heiko Stübner]

Hi,

as I was unsuccessful in finding similiar cases on the mailing lists I would 
like some input on the handling of corner-case in packaging.

The package is fso-usaged from the freesmartphone.org software-stack and not 
yet in debian.

Compilation results in a binary fsousaged, a shared library libfsousage.so* 
and three plugins (controller.so, lowlevel_kernel26.so, lowlevel_openmoko.so).

The plugins use libfsousage and fsousaged loads them according to its config-
file.

According to the debian-policy libfsousage would require the two separate 
shared libary packages (0, -dev) but the only users are and will be fsousaged 
and the plugins alone.

Are there other packaging options for such a case, as libfsousage is currently 
3,4KB and it seems like much overhead to have the library-packages when there 
won't ever be other users of it.

Currently I have all in one package (34KB deb / 252KB installed-size) but 
lintian doesn't like it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Heiko
