Hi Joerg,

Thanks for your email.

I'll ask upstream if they would be happy for MyServer to enter Debian with
a modified name. If so I'll repackage it with a name of their choice.

Can I ask a couple of questions?

1)  Are we talking just about the *package* name? I.e. would it be
acceptable to rename the package but still install /usr/bin/myserver and
/usr/share/myserver?

2)  How much less generic should the name be? E.g. would "mywebserver" be OK?

3)  I'm just wondering how "close" MyServer is to getting into Debian once
I've fixed the name problem. Did you have a chance to look at the rest of
the package?

Thanks,
Paul
