Huh. I even replied to one of them. Interestingly, I thought that the
spec was the right thing to do, w/o a library function. Times change.
Anyway, "legal package names" is probably insufficient, as we must deal
with the LSB namespace.
Clint, if I coded a shared library and a couple of programs that
filtered filenames according to whatever the standard of the day was,
would you add it to debianutils and use it in run-parts? Oh crap, I
suppose that implies a debianutils-dev as well, which means it might be
more than you want to deal with.
