Hi, Alexis,

I have renamed those packages and binaries, and upload it to the mentors, :)

Since it's mainly used to be a library, the developer only needs add the corresponding
libfoo-dev to the build-depends to use the corresponding functions. So maybe it's
no need to add a meta package?

Thanks again!
