Qwt packaging



Hi and Merry Christmas
   I have been trying to fix the qwt5 package and  am quite happy for it now, 
then it is the question if you like it or not. Lintian gives me the following 
messages:
E: libqwt-qt4: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libqwt-qt4.so.5.0.0
W: libqwt-qt4: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libqwt-qt4-5
E: libqwt-qt3: no-shlibs-control-file usr/lib/libqwt-qt3.so.5.0.0
W: libqwt-qt3: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libqwt-qt3-5
and I have to confess that I don't understand them at all. 
   Is there anyone willing to help me?

There was a small discussion about the naming of the libraries. I prefer the 
solution with a postfix, qt3 or qt4 for the corresponding Qt libraries. In 
that way, qwt4 and qwt5 can coexist and both versions of qwt5 (qt3 and qt4).
   Brian Nelson mentioned that binary compatibility would be lost by adding 
this postfix but I think it is better to be able to have all the versions 
present at the same time.

Regards
Gudjon
