So, it seems to me like we do have a naming problem with some
libs, that should be named, for example, libgnome-2-0. I am willing
to go through the gnome packages and find such inconsistencies
to file bug reports about them, but I think we should have the
renaming scheduled for gnome2.6, leaving gnome2.4 in its
current state.
(Maybe I could even extend that research to all of Debian, but
I'd rather try it out with GNOME first).
So, what do you think? Shall I proceed?
Thanks,
