Hi Carlo,
I had a similar discussion on -devel last month, and we agreed that the
one binary would use uppercase letters.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/10/msg00978.html
If there is no technical concern, I would suggest that your binary would
be named SixPACK, to match what is used on upstream's website.
I would be rather reluctant to rename the sixpack binary of EMBOSS, as
it is a software suite which is very command-line oriented, in the Unix
way : many small programs fitting one task. EMBOSS users will definitely
not expect sixpack to be renamed. In addition, their scripts would be
broken.
How is the case of sixpack for XAS? Is it used in command line, or will
it be called from a menu ?
Have a nice day,
