Normally the debian package has the same name as the original package.
Exceptions, of course, are libraries where a lib might be prepended and
-dev appended, same as 'g' for glibc version, and when the original
name contains characters that we must not use such as an underscore
or dot or something.
So if the programs come from one original tarball they normally
create one debian package.
