Bug#979113: libpulse-dev: lib .so files in -dev package, cause other programs to fail

[Federico Grau]

Package: libpulse-dev
Version: 12.2-4+deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
    Other programs were failing, because they were unable to load
    libpulse-simple.so library file with only libpulse0 package installed.
    The xcwcp package is one such example.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
    A workaround is to install libpulse-dev in addition to libpulse0.
    However this also installs several additional other packages, and should
    not be required for standard library usage.

    Attached is a patch against current salsa.debian.org git, to alter the
    debian file packaging associating library .so files with the library
    package.
