Package: libgtk2.0-dev
Version: 2.4.14-2
Severity: normal

When I examined upgrading Gtk+ to 2.6.x yesterday, I got stopped by seeing
it required 30MB more than the previous (2.4.x) version.
After investigating I tracked this down to the libgtk2.0-dev package, which
contains huge lib*.a files, far bigger than their equivalents in the 2.4
version.  Those files must have been built with debug information, because
I don't think Gtk has grown so much between 2.4 and 2.6 series.
Debug libraries should go to libgtk2.0-dbg, not -dev.  -dev should contain
static libraries, but without debug info so they keep a reasonable size.

Faulty version (since I didn't upgrade the report doesn't show useful
info):  2.6.2-3
