Hello,

Subject: Strange *-dev depends in some xen packages

Looking over this page:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/luis/testing/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages

I see what looks like a project similar (if not the same) to this
http://virtualusr.wordpress.com/2010/07/14/xen-4-0-rc-source-kernels-packaged-for-ubuntu/

I ran the scripts at virtualusr on 10.04 and got this package set:
libxen4_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb      
   python-xml_0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb  xen-docs-4.0_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
libxen4-dev_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb     xbel_0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2_all.deb        
  xen-hypervisor-4.0_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
python-xen-4.0_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb  xbel-utils_0.8.4-10.1ubuntu2_all.deb  
  xen-utils-4.0_4.0.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

My question:
   Why does python-xen-4.0 have a depends on python-dev?

When I look at the package set for Debian Squeeze, there is a similar partition 
of the xen sources as you have here. However xen-utils-4.0 has no depends on 
python-dev (via python-xen-4.0).

I think that Debian has a more minimal depends set that what was done here in 
launchpad.

Thanks for your attention,
Mark
