Hi!
As the sgb maintainer, it would probably have been wise to email me as
well (sgb@packages.debian.org would do). I just happened to see the
email....
Anyway, is the Gnome Basic library "standard" (in some vague sense of
the word)? Do people expect it to be installed with that name? I
have no idea how many people are already linking their programs to
libgb (the Stanford GraphBase version), so I am a little nervous about
changing the name. There are no packages in Debian which use it,
however, so it might not be so terrible to change it.
