2 separate packages .... ok
And what about -dev packages should be also 2 or just one for both libraries. 
 
If there should be 2 -dev packages how should I divide headers file between
them.
There are 5 headers files:
audiolock.h
host.h
lv2dynparam.h
lv2_rtmempool.h
plugin.h
 
Destination for some of them is clear:
 
host.h -> liblv2dynparamhost1-dev
plugin.h ->  liblv2dynparamplugin1-dev
 
I am not sure about others ... should be included in both -dev packages?
 
All headers files are in attachment if needed.
 
regards
 
mira
