Bug#914493: libfclib0: hard codes library dependency

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Package: libfclib0
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Control: block 913837 by -1

Dear maintainer,

your source package has this:

Package: libfclib0
Architecture: any
Multi-Arch: same
Section: libs
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
         ${shlibs:Depends},
         libhdf5-100,
         libsuitesparse-dev (>= 1:5.1.2)

This is no good in at least two ways:

 * you hardcode a depdency on libhdf5-100, which made me notice this,
   since now there is a transition going on to libhdf5-103.  the shlibs
   mechanism finds the depedency just fine (and if it didn't it would be
   a different bug in this package anyway), so please just plain drop
   this.
 * there is a depedency on a development package.  That's plain
   worrisome, why would you need that??  I suppose you just wanted a
   depdency on suitparse, and the shlibs mechanism perfectly finds
   libcxsparse3 already, so there shouldn't be any need for that, I
   hope.
