Package: matlab-support
Version: 0.1
Severity: important

matlab-support offers the possibility of renaming libraries vendored by MATLAB
which are also shipped by Debian.

However, it has observed that, at least with versions R2025a and R2025b of
MATLAB, renaming libvulkan.so.1 and libfreetype.so.6 causes erratic behaviour
in headless containers (typically infinite loop).

It was confirmed by MathWorks employees that these libraries should not be
renamed.
