Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi there,

according to Debian policy 5.6.1 Debian package names may only
contains lower-case characters (among others).

However, It just happened to me that I typed "evolution" into the
"Jump to Package..." field and the auto-correction of my phone (yay!)
corrected it into the actual German word "Evolution", that is the same
but starting with an upper-case letter. The Tracker then told me
"Package Evolution does not exist". :(

I think, it would be reasonable to automatically convert upper-case
characters into lower-case characters for package names entered into
the "Jump to Package..." field, because package names with upper-case
characters do not exist as per policy, so this must definitely be a
typo.

Thank you!

- Fabian
