Package: libwebkit-1.0-2
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.2
$ dpkg -L libwebkit-1.0-2
/.
/usr
/usr/share

/usr/share/doc/libwebkit-1.0-2
/usr/share/doc/libwebkit-1.0-2/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libwebkit-1.0-2/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2.1.0
/usr/lib/webkit-1.0
/usr/lib/webkit-1.0/libexec

/usr/lib/webkit-1.0/libexec/DumpRenderTree
/usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2
Policy 8.2:
If your package contains files whose names do not change with each change in
the library shared object version, you must not put them in the shared
library package. Otherwise, several versions of the shared library cannot be
installed at the same time without filename clashes, making upgrades and
transitions unnecessarily difficult.
In particular, this keeps me from installing experimental liferea and unstable
gimp at the same time. (Well, the experimental liferea I'm about to upload in
a couple hours, rather).
Please move the libexec files to a different package.
