Multiarching -dev packages (to enable multiarch crossbuilding)
Multiarch cross-dependency satisfaction (as currently implented in apt) needs -dev packages as well as plain lib packages to be make multiarch-ready and thus co-installable. This process is not yet well-specified like the library conversions, and it needs to be for package maintainers to be able to do this work.
A related issue is changing whether the default of apt-get build-dep -a is to install for HOST or BUILD arch. The latter requires making library and -dev packages Multi-arch: same, the former requires marking all other build-deps Multi-arch: foreign. See http://
Things to cover:
Change apt build-dep -a behaviour?
Guidelines for -dev conversion:
header moving
binaries (foo-config)
what else?
