[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#757237: liboctave-dev: dependency on liblapack.so

[Jörg-Volker Peetz]

Package: liboctave-dev
Version: 3.8.1-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer(s),

since the package libopenblas-dev version 0.2.10-1 now also provides
liblapack.so, would it be possible to change the dependency list from

 ..., liblapack-dev (>= 3.2.1-7), ...

to

 ..., liblapack-dev (>= 3.2.1-7) | liblapack.so, ...

? This would allow to install package libopenblas-dev and purge packages
liblapack-dev, liblapack3 on systems like mine.

Regards,
Jörg-Volker.
