Re: name transition of an application implemented in Ruby

[Norwid Behrnd <nbehrnd@yahoo.com>]

Dear Antonio,

Initially, package `ruby-gem` was assembled by `gem2deb` which is why I assume
it were acceptable to retain a name reflecting the language of implementation
in the name of the repository.  Meanwhile, the RFS on mentors provides a .deb
which yields a package by name of `mdl` only.  The syntax engaged relies on the
example of Debian's Policy Manual (section 7.6.2) to remove (if existing)
earlier versions of the package on the fly with the elder name by a pattern of

```
Provides: new_name
Conflicts: old_name
Replaces: old_name
```

in file /debian/control.

As far as currently understood, this lifts the need need to rename many
files/the repository, or to submit the package for review as an entirely new
one your suggestion would require.

Do you think the package qualifies now as fit for upload?

Regards,

Norwid
