My suggestion is to call it libcdk (the source name)
and build a libcdk5 library

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352961

it was removed the libcdk but just because of a SONAME bump.

In my opinion the src name shouldn't change, just the library
should.

BTW even libcdk5 might be fine, as long as they don't change soname too
often.

but unfortunately cdk is misleading to me.

what do you think about this?

(please note: I don't have a strong opinion about this, but since we can't have
cdk as source name, we should change it anyway)

cheers,

G.
