It was my convincement that policy said that library's binary packages
should have the soname version _in_ the name (at the end of the name)
and source version as version number.
I looked for this in the actual manuals (just to point you to them),
but I wasn't able to find that part.
Did this disappear, or I was mistakenly taking for policy some
reccomendation, maybe read in some message on the list?
My convincement was that the binary packages for libraries must be
named:
<"lib"><libname><soname><"g"(if also libc5)>{,-dev,-dbg}_<source-version>
I think we should collect all library's issues in a section on the
policy: there are several issues in discussion, as well as praticies for
libc6 libs, perl libs, etc.
