Hi luca, :)

Currently it's like this:

Runtime:
phoneuid needs libphone-ui
libphone-ui needs libphone-ui-implementation
libphone-ui-shr provides libphone-ui-implementation

Buildtime:
phoneuid needs libphone-ui
libphone-ui needs nothing
libphone-ui-shr needs libphone-ui

Currently I added libphone-ui-shr to the recommends of libphone-ui.
Addin a dependency there would result in a circular build dependency.

If I got you right I should manually add
libphone-ui-shr/libphone-ui-implementation to every package using
libphone-ui (which is just phoneuid at the moment iirc)?
