[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1061344: emboss-lib: identified for time_t transition but no ABI in shlibs

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Charles,

I wonder how we can properly solve this bug.  In the early stage of
Emboss packaging obviously the packages

           libajax6,
           libajax6-dev,
           libnucleus6,
           libnucleus6-dev

existed (thus the remaining Conflicts/Replaces on emboss-lib which can
probably be removed right now).  I wonder whether we should restore those
single library package per shared library + devel package, merge
static+shared library in one package or even merge

   libacd 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
   libajax 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
   libajaxdb 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
   libajaxg 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
   libensembl 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)
   libnucleus 6 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)

in libemboss6

   libepcre 7 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)

in libemboss-pcre7 (ugly since its a code copy of pcre3 but well,
that's another battle field) and

   libeplplot 3 emboss-lib (>= 6.6.0+dfsg)

in libemboss-plplot3 to express the proper sonames inside the library
package names.  Any more sensible suggestion is pretty welcome.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
