The name ‘lfm3’ implies you are packaging version 3 *of lfm*. Is that
the case for this package?
To put the version of LFM in the package name also implies LFM 3 and
some other version of LFM (version 2, or version 4, etc.) are likely
candidates to be installed on the same system. Is that true for this
case?
The implementation language of the program is generally quite irrelevant
to what the program should be called.
An exception would be if the program's purpose is primarily *about* that
language, such as a development tool for that language. Is that the
case for this program?

If the change of implementation doesn't entail a significant change in
how the program is expected to behave, then yes, I think keeping the
package name the same is important to reflect that continuity.
