To summarize:
1. When the OCC was in Debian previously, and its current form in the Ubuntu
PPA, we had e.g. libopencascade-foundation-7.1.0
2. Anton suggested e.g. libopencascade-foundation-7.2
3. Appendix A of the Debian New Maintainer's Guide [1] suggests
libopencascade-foundation7 is correct
4. Some packages also use the form libopencascade7-foundation, and this
seems most correct to me

But which one should be used here? In the case of 4, would the -dev files
just be e.g. libopencascade-foundation-dev? or libopencascade7-*-dev?

Well it depends. If upstream guarantees the stable API/ABI between minor
releases, that it is OK to have  libopencascade-foundation-7. But to be on
the safe side, I think it is better to use libX,Y.Z-schema.

They do use a major.minor.maintenance version scheme so perhaps the .Z portion would be unnecessary.
