[Bug 312898] Re: libxxx-unstripped should also Provide libxxx

[bojo42]

@Reinhard: many thanks for explain the issue a bit more in detail, cause
now i finally got it. better later than never ;) and BTW i think it was
rather not enough information than misinformation that lead to my wrong
assumptions ;)

@all: and yes with dpkg -i --force-depends i was also able to build the
opal/ekiga stuff using the unstripped packages. so we don't really need
"unstripped dev" packages for using the unstripped libs in packaging.
but anyway we need a solution for the "dependency hell" right now, as
you can only build packages by "corrupting" the package system and this
is not good for PPAs and everything else beside chroot.

as for the rivalling of *ubuntu-restricted-extras and the dev packages,
i would argue that even people who do some packaging or compiling should
be able to do this on the same machine they use for their unfree
multimedia experience. (meaning without a lot of package installation :)
