[Bug 312898] Re: libxxx-dev should be installable with libxxx-unstripped

[bojo42]

@Reinhard: i now tried it without the unstripped package and i am able
to compile the plugin (even though i haven't tested it yet). but i had
to trick the configure script so it the if conditions regarding checking
for the non free codec in avcodec simply always says yes to compiling
it, this of course means the check doesn't go on with the stripped one.
for more details i can send you the specific part of the configure
script or you grab it from the opal package under plugins (HAVE_H263P is
the magic word), but so far it seems you're not doing things very insane
;) i also found an alternative for my case as the discrete plugin
directories have make files in them, so i just need to call make
directly there and don't have to care about forcing configure's
decision. so thank you very much for helping me to understand the whole
issue, as i am now able to do the packages on Soyuz :)

@all: to clarify this all means even if the software we compile or
package needs the unstripped packages at runtime, it don't or shouldn't
need them when compiling. so we only need to make sure the configure
stuff doesn't disable compiling of the needed features because we have
the stripped packages installed at compiling/building or we have to
compile them "manually" some how. for packagers this means you need the
dev packages at build-depends and the unstripped at the normal depends
in debian/control, so you make sure you at least have the unstripped
stuff at runtime.

great i finally got it :) but i would still feel comfortable with
letting the dev package optionally depend on the unstripped libs, in
case this won't make any unintended troubles.
