I'm new to Debian and to linux, and have two noob questions: 1. If package A has an abstraction that depends on an object from package B, is package B automatically installed when I install package A?
2. If package A has a help patch that uses an object from package B, is package B automatically installed when I install package A?

I'm fine with whatever you want to do with

it, so I don't really have much input on it.
So I feel there is consensus about packaging iemmatrix
(only) as a
multi-object library.
I'd put it this way: I'm don't like ever packaging libs that way, but I don't use iemmatrix, so I won't stop you. :)

As for other libraries without aliases or
hexloader needs (which is
most), I see no reason why the Debian package
should not be built with
single_object.pd_linux. With the libdir
loader, it'll behave just
like a multi-object.pd_linux library, and have the
added bonus of
working namespace prefixes.
Agreed.
