Re: libxml-libxml-xpathcontext-perl_0.07-1_i386.changes REJECTED

Hi,

As you can see, the package libxml-libxml-xpathcontext-perl has been
rejected from the NEW queue.

Joerg find its name redundant, and I must say he's right:

But the fact is that if you stricly apply the Perl policy for naming the
package, you do get that name:

So the question is: must we _always_ apply the Perl policy for naming
packages, or can we bypass that policy when the name becomes rdeundant
like here?

To me, there are  only two possile names:

- libxml-libxml-xpathcontext-perl (the Perl policy compliant one).
- libxml-xpathcontext-perl (not redundant, but not compliant).

I'd apreciate your comments on this...

The real glory of maintainership isn't making the big and important
decisions. The real glory lies in all the small stuff that doesn't
really matter, and that people will just argue forever.
