Comment 1 for bug 1859395

Hi,

libxen-4.9 is used at runtime, and contains the dynamic library. libxen-dev is used for development and contains the header files (*.h), the dynamic library .so link, and the static library. That's how it is supposed to be. Just adding /usr/includexenstat.h to libxen-4.9 wouldn't work, as other header files are also likely needed, and the dynamic library .so link is also needed. The static library might not, depending on your compile options, but it goes together with the dev package per policy. See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#static-libraries for the details.

I'm going to close this bug as invalid, but if I misunderstood your point, please feel free to reopen it and clarify.

Thanks!
