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

[bojo42]

@Ludovico: can you explain that a bit more in detail, as from my point
of understanding i don't get why the unstripped-dev should provide the
stripped-dev. I would say the unstripped should conflicts the stripped
one, of course that would mean you can't build packages that depend on
one or the other at once.

Generally my reason for wanting a unstripped-dev is that i could let the
PPA system build packages that need the stripped stuff of ffmpeg,
without hosting a own ffmpeg package in my PPA. Beside i would think
this would also make things easier when preparing packages for
multiverse, as you just have to add a unstripped-dev as build depends
and you got all the "nasty" stuff.

I stumbled of this when i tried to get all of Ekiga's non free plugins
into my PPA for easy sharing to friends of mine who need those. Maybe
i'm missing something, so please correct me or explain :), but i don't
get why there is no "nasty" dev package of ffmpeg, since i thought there
was one in Medibuntu.

best regards
