Library package naming
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear mentors,
I got into trouble with library package naming. I package something
called net6 which passes -release 1 and -version-info 0:0:0 to
libtool. The library version number is 1.0, and the library on disk
is called libnet6-1.so.0.0.0 (according to the former parameters).
How should the Debian binary package be called?
When I read the Debian Library Packagaing Guide I get the impression
that libnet6-1-0 would be correct, but some in #debian-devel said
that the library is improperly named. Upstream's intention for “-
release 1” was that major versions are binary incompatible anyway and
so one could reset the SONAME to 0:0:0. If this versioning should be
changed upstream please tell me so, and please with a clue for me
what's wrong with it. Otherwise please give me a package name with
which the package could be added to Debian.
Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
