Bug#448207: lintian: please check for gfortran "gf" in package names

["Kevin B. McCarty" <kmccarty@Princeton.EDU>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.36
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in the process of converting my packages for gfortran transition, I find:

W: libgraflib1gf: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libgraflib1

and lots more errors like these.

It would be nice if Lintian could be made aware that the "gf" suffix is
being used in the names of runtime library packages that have been
rebuilt with gfortran instead of g77 (refer to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-toolchain/2007/07/msg00000.html )

E.g., libpacklib1 -> libpacklib1gf but the soname remains "libpacklib.so.1".

Possible?

Thanks and best regards,
