Package: libmosquitto-dev
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The new version of libmosquitto-dev includes
/usr/include/mosquitto/libcommon.h and
/usr/include/mosquitto/broker_control.h which pull in header
cjson/cJSON.h. Without listed dependency on libcjson-dev, software
linking against libmosquitto fails to build without having libcjson-dev
installed manually.
