I propose a patch that makes the debian package build system builds two
debian packages:

1/ tracker: it contains what a typical user needs to play with tracker:
trackerd, tracker-search, libmetatracker, etc.
I made it not depend on mysql since a nested version will be provided.

2/ tracker-dev: it contains development files.

Do we really need a 'dev' package for development? Since Tracker has a
DBus interface that applications can connect to without having to link
to libmetatracker, I don't think its completely necessary (correct me
if I'm wrong, though :-)

Perhaps another name could be found... It's just a way to not distribute
to simple users files like tracker.h and tracker-client.h that are not
useful for them. Distributions will do something like that.

Something like libmetatracker-dev is better? But so it should be strange
to not have a libmetatracker package...


Someday, manpage will have to be added... lintia proposes to do another
package for libmetatracker only. I think that provide a package for
normal use and another for development is enough. It lets the debian (or
alternative) mainteneurs to add raffinements.

I also let someone to update the debian/changelog file!

Good idea :-)

Cheers,
Samuel
