Bug#782575: Please add Build-Depends-Package for the move to /lib

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libapparmor1
Version: 2.9.0-3+exp1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

in version 2.9.0-3+exp1, the libraries were moved to /lib and Martin
(re)enabled apparmor support in systemd. While doing that, he also added
a hard-coded, versioned dependency on libapparmor1 (>= 2.9.0-3+exp1) to
ensure that systemd depends on a libapparmor1 version which has its
libraries in /lib.

This is super-ugly, and we should not do that.

I therefor suggest, that libapparmor1 adds
* Build-Depends-Package: libapparmor-dev
to its symbols file.

This way, we can simply make the Build-Depends on libapparmor-dev
versioned, indicating that we want a version which was moved to lib, and
get a proper versioned library dependency.

Please consider applying the attached patch and making a new
experimental upload for libapparmor, so we can drop the hard-coded
library dependency.

While looking at the symbols file, I also noticed, that it contains a
lot of versions including the debian revision 0ubuntu1.
Is that really intentional?

Regards,
Michael
