Bug#498697: libeel2-2.20: libeel-2.so library not in user package (only in -dev)

[Michel Casabona]

Package: libeel2-2.20
Version: 2.20.0-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

A program from a (binary) package fails to start because libeel-2.so.2
is not found although the package libeel2-2.20 is installed.

The symlink /usr/lib/libeel-2.so can be found in the libeel2-dev
package: it seems weird for a user library, and the installation of the
development package would force to install several dozen of packages
that take a lot of additional disk space, not used otherwise.  

Could the symlink be moved to the user package ?

Thanks
