The full name of mls is MailListStat. However, the binary file, the upstream archive file, and all of the source files are called mls -- hence I choose that name. I'll be glad to have to package renamed, though. MailListStat would be a natural choice (or maybe mail-list-stat). I wonder, though, if we rename the Debian package, should the name of the installed upstream binary be changed to match the Debian package name? If the consensus is to rename the package, I'm not sure how to ask the archive maintainers to change a name. Thanks for the helpful discussion on this issue. -- Kevin Rosenberg http://kevin.rosenberg.net kevin@rosenberg.net
