Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a c library implementation of that protocol. the compositor can be a standalone display server running on linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an x application, or a wayland client itself. the clients can be traditional applications, x servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

this package contains the debug version of the libraries found in libwayland0. non-developers likely have little use for this package.
