RE: package name differs from source name
That doesn't make a problem for me. My problem what to put into
changelog. Putting the the source name there causes debstd to produce
buggy results (that looks like a bug in debstd btw) and putting the
binary name there causes dpkg-gencontrol to fail. It's not a problem
with the control file and -pxftp doesn't change the behaviour as far as
I recall.
