Good.

He did? Did he already try an upload?
AFAICT, chaging the source name will make the scripts treat the package
as a new one, meaning that it will have to go through NEW, which takes
quite some time these days. Also, you will have to force
an .orig.tar.gz-upload even though it is not a -1 version. And all kinds
of other horrible stuff :-)
OTOH, there is no problem in having a differing source name, and for
library packages, this is not uncommon. I'd strongly recomment not
changing the source name, but I'm interested in what Gunnar has to say.
Greetings,
Joachim
