There is tree mean :
- move each library in a different repertory (well, I think it's
  better to stay with upstream wish)
- create some empty directory containing only the META information
- use predicate

seam good.

well :
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=report&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386&directories=yes
list 32 pages of package with a file whose name contain report. Seem
to be a good indication that this name is too generic.
