They do not have this problem anyway, since they have the freedom to
enable/disable options as they wish. The problem is with a developer
looking to implement a yahoo client with devel packages from a distro
and finds that there are two completely different ways to do this and
he would have to find out which distro is using what way. That or
include a copy of libyahoo2 in his source, which is not good practice.

Yes, they would have to end up making this change if libyahoo2
provides only the callback interface. Currently, the Fedora release of
libyahoo2 is pulled from svn. As far as I could see, only freehoo
seems to be using it, so it should not be too difficult to get that
changed. Ray van Dolson is maintainer for both those packages for
Fedora and perhaps upstream for freehoo too. Is freehoo in Debian or
any other distro as well? How are they working things there?
