 I'd say this port is a set of plugins (or the like) for qlandkartegt.
 QlankarteGT runs fine without garmindev (it doesn't need to talk to
 your garmin, or you don't even have a supported garmin device - the
 qlandkartegt package as it is now works without garmindev, too); but
 the garmindev package is pretty much worthless without qlandkartegt.
 For the same reason (plugin, not "real" library), we don't need to
 call ldconfig. I tested the package with my eTrex and "everything
 works for me" (as far as the garmin protocol allows).
 
 Regards,
 Christoph
