Bug#701146: sundials: Please remove unneeded and possibly problematic shared library metapackage

[Guillem Jover]

Source: sundials
Source-Version: 2.5.0-2~exp1
Severity: normal

Hi!

This source package produces two shared library metapackages,
libsundials-serial and libsundials-parallel, those pull in the real
shared library packages. But this does not really make sense, those
real shared library packages should only be pulled by packages linking
against them or by the respective -dev package(s), and can be
pernicious as it bypasses the normal shlibs/symbol file versioning
support, and can subsequently lead to dynamic linker errors for
programs of the ABIs get bumped and a program ended up depending on
those. Please remove them, and in case of libsundials-serial-dev
just inline the dependencies from libsundials-serial.

Thanks,
Guillem
