librrd0-dev missing from Ubuntu - intention or accident?

Of the four debs built from that source, I only see librrd0 and
librrds-perl in Ubuntu this morning.  librrd0-dev will arrive in due
time (BTW, how often do these resyncs happen?).  librrdp-perl might or
might not be considered another overlooked "dev-like" package.  From
the description, it appears to be an analog of librrds-perl with a
different API.

Oh!  And when I tried to run sensors-detect, I found that the
/dev/i2c-* devices weren't present.  There's a script buried several
layers deep in the source tree to create them, but the Debian packaging
doesn't include it.  My guess is... wait, I have a fairly bare-bones
Sarge install I can check.  Hmmm.  Okay, the i2c device nodes don't
seem to be installed as part of the base.  I'm not sure where they're
created, but I've never, that I can recall, missed them when using
lm-sensors under Debian... not that I claim to recall much at all from
as far back as bo, or even hamm.  :-)

I'll keep an eye out for any such.  I hope to get the new desktop
system setup to the point I can present it to Cally and see if she
likes it, so I'll be installing a fair bit of stuff not included in
warty this weekend, if only to avoid forcing her to change too many of
the tools she's familiar with all at once.  In the long run, for
example, nedit's days are probably numbered, but for now it appears to
have all of its build-deps in warty: 21 x*-dev (well, almost all) debs
added.
