I mostly concur; I think that the name libconfig or libdebug is
far too generic to be used by either candidate (I would reconsider that
only for a package that has far larger installed base, or has become a
standard in other Linux/UNIX OS's already). I'm OK with letting people
decide on new names for their packages, and letting NEW processing sort
it out (though I wonder how libconfig and libdebug got in in the first
place).
