linitan warning package-name-doesnt-match-sonames

[Rashad Kanavath <mohammedrashadkm@gmail.com>]

I am trying to fix linitan warning in OTB.  I had a lot of warning says package name does not matches so names.

For example earlier I had a single package with all libs.

libotb.install

    usr/lib/libOTB*.so.*       usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}

I tried to split them into seperate packages like

libotbcommon.install
usr/lib/libOTBCommon.so.*                  usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}

I also have a corresponding entry for libotbcommon inisde debian/control. But still I get warnings from linitain
W: libotbcommon: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libOTBCommon-5.0-1

Now this is normal because from[1] it gives a way to find the so name using objdump

objdump -p obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/libOTBCommon-5.0.so | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | sed -r -e's/([0-9])\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so(\.|$)//; y/_/-/; s/(.*)/\L&/'

The above command outputs libotbcommon-5.0-1

so If I change the package name to libotbcommon-5.0-1.install the warning will go away. But then I will have the version number with the filename.

My question is having such .install files are normal?

should I have the same name for the package entry inside the debian/control

Package: libotbcommon -> Package: libotbcommon-5.0-1 ?
