The package containing the Parse::RecDescent module with the > tutorial stripped is still called libparse-recdescent-perl. Doc packages are usually called package-doc. I see no reason to change that here, except that adding non-free seems to make sense. Removing "lib" would just confuse the name, because it would be less clear which package the doc is for. > At any rate, I guess you are suggesting the name > libparse-recdescent-perl-doc-nonfree, aren't you? That's what I'd suggest. > Good chances to win the longest-package-name contest in Debian :-) Non-free isn't technically "in Debian" :-P Anyway, I don't see any problem with having a long name. Debian is high quality software, which will not stop working because of it. :-) Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
