Ok, now I got your point. But I'm still not convinced that your solution
(including the shlib's version number in the package name) is good. Just
image a package which contains several shared libraries with different
version numbers.
If the point is just to get the information about which shlibs are
included out of the package itself, I suggest to mention the shlibs in the
Description or some other control field. I don't think that using the
package name would be a good idea.
Any other opinions here??
Thanks,
Chris
