Hi,
the Debian Perl Policy asks for packages for the Foo::Bar module to be
named libfoo-bar-perl [1]. Some packages do not adhere to this scheme:
opalmod → libopal-perl
gnuift-perl → libgnuift-perl
perl-mapscript → libmapscript-perl
perl-tk → libtk-perl
speedy-cgi-perl → libspeedy-cgi-perl
exactimage-perl → libexactimage-perl
perl-ifeffit → libifeffit-perl
rplay-perl → librplay-perl
nfqueue-bindings-perl → libnfqueue-perl
perlmagick → libimage-magick-perl
(dd-list attached below; the list is based on data from Feb 23 [2])
I believe these modules should be renamed to have a consistent naming
scheme in Debian instead of using a prefix "perl-" or omitting the "lib"
for some packages.
Unless there are objections I will file bugs of severity "normal" in a
few days for these packages.
Regards,
Ansgar
