[Pkg-oss4-maintainers] Bug#644685: liboss4-salsa-dev: Please stop providing libasound-dev

Package: liboss4-salsa-dev
Version: 4.2-build2004-1
Severity: important

For whatever reason, liboss4-salsa-dev Provides: libasound2-dev _and_
libasound-dev, instead of just the former. This makes some packages still
build-depending on libasound-dev unintentionally build against OSS4
instead of libasound2.

I plan to stop providing libasound-dev in libasound2-dev, as libasound-dev
has been unavailable in Debian for over 8 years, and will file bugs for
every package declaring B-Ds on that so they switch to just
libasound2-dev, as it should be.

Before I can do that, though, you need to stop providing libasound-dev
too, or I won't fix anything that isn't broken right now.

Thanks!
