[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#901297: libnode64-dev: rename to libnode-dev

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Package: libnode64-dev
Version: 10.4.0~dfsg-1
Severity: important

Hi,

Your shared library package is named libnode64, since it ships libnode.so.64.
That is fine. However the development package should be named libnode-dev,
so that rdeps build-dep on libnode-dev and when upstream bumps the SONAME,
a binNMU is enough to rebuild them against the new SONAME. Otherwise if they
build-depend on libnode64-dev, rdeps would need sourceful uploads, making
transitions unnecessarily difficult.

Besides, libnode64-dev and libnode65-dev would never be co-installable and
would need to conflict against each other, so there's no point in versioning
them.

Cheers,
Emilio
